One thing I'm seeing is that, when one thread is blocked waiting on this memory allocation: https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/blob/564663b9b6888c8334ec8077b5583da9b192c3c2/proxy/logging/LogObject.cc#L399 , any other thread trying to reserve (checkout) will keep getting the return value LB_RETRY from LogBuffer::writer_checkout(), and will thus busy wait. So we could be indirectly seeing the memory allocation blocking problem. If this is the case, it would likely help to execute a thread yield when the LB_RETRY return value is returned. I think I need to reproduce the problem with a baseline build, then see if this change improves things. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
