Muralidhar Basani commented on KAFKA-16768:
-------------------------------------------
To fix this, when Processor#closeAll() is called, should we close all the
acceptors in dataPlaneAcceptors, so that no new connections are accepted ?
> SocketServer leaks accepted SocketChannel instances due to race condition
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: KAFKA-16768
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-16768
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 3.8.0
> Reporter: Greg Harris
> Priority: Major
>
> The SocketServer has threads for Acceptors and Processors. These threads
> communicate via Processor#accept/Processor#configureNewConnections and the
> `newConnections` queue.
> During shutdown, the Acceptor and Processors are each stopped by setting
> shouldRun to false, and then shutdown proceeds asynchronously in all
> instances together. This leads to a race condition where an Acceptor accepts
> a SocketChannel and queues it to a Processor, but that Processor instance has
> already started shutting down and has already drained the newConnections
> queue.
> KAFKA-16765 is an analogous bug in NioEchoServer, which uses a completely
> different implementation but has the same flaw.
> An example execution order that includes this leak:
> 1. Acceptor#accept() is called, and a new SocketChannel is accepted.
> 2. Acceptor#assignNewConnection() begins
> 3. Acceptor#close() is called, which sets shouldRun to false in the Acceptor
> and attached Processor instances
> 4. Processor#run() checks the shouldRun variable, and exits the loop
> 5. Processor#closeAll() executes, and drains the `newConnections` variable
> 6. Processor#run() returns and the Processor thread terminates
> 7. Acceptor#assignNewConnection() calls Processor#accept(), which adds the
> SocketChannel to `newConnections`
> 8. Acceptor#assignNewConnection() returns
> 9. Acceptor#run() checks the shouldRun variable and exits the loop, and the
> Acceptor thread terminates.
> 10. Acceptor#close() joins all of the terminated threads, and returns
> At the end of this sequence, there are still open SocketChannel instances in
> newConnections, which are then considered leaked.
