> Potential deadlock for task reading from blocking ResultPartition.
> ------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-14872
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-14872
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Runtime / Network
> Reporter: Yingjie Cao
> Assignee: Yingjie Cao
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Fix For: 1.10.0
>
>
> Currently, the buffer pool size of InputGate reading from blocking
> ResultPartition is unbounded which have a potential of using too many buffers
> and may lead to ResultPartition of the same task can not acquire enough core
> buffers and finally lead to deadlock.
> Considers the following case:
> Core buffers are reserved for InputGate and ResultPartition -> InputGate
> consumes lots of Buffer (not including the buffer reserved for
> ResultPartition) -> Other tasks acquire exclusive buffer for InputGate and
> trigger redistribute of Buffers (Buffers taken by previous InputGate can not
> be released) -> The first task of which InputGate uses lots of buffers begin
> to emit records but can not acquire enough core Buffers (Some operators may
> not emit records out immediately or there is just nothing to emit) ->
> Deadlock.
>
> I think we can fix this problem by limit the number of Buffers can be
> allocated by a InputGate which reads from blocking ResultPartition.
