Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-702:
------------------------------------
Sean, I believe your analysis is incorrect. The call to
{{config.getConfigurationMonitor().checkConfiguration();}} may cause the
Logger's PrivateConfig to be replaced by a fresh one, that is true. This fresh
privateConfig willl contain a new LoggerConfig. The Logger will no longer have
a reference to the old PrivateConfig and new {{logMessage()}} calls will be
delegated to the new PrivateConfig object.
However, the code is currently executing in the old PrivateConfig and will now
execute the next statement ({{loggerConfig.log(event);}} on the old
PrivateConfig object, which still has a reference to the old LoggerConfig.
> LoggerConfig#waitForCompletion is not thread safe

> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0-rc2
> Reporter: Sean Bridges
> Assignee: Matt Sicker
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.0

>
> This is in trunk, svn commit 1608156
> LoggerConfig#waitForCompletion uses an AtomicInteger counter to try to detect
> if there are any calls currently executing the log(Event) method, but it does
> not do so in a thread safe manner. Consider two threads A and B, where
> Thread A is calling clearAppenders(), and Thread B is calling log(Event),
> {code}
> Thread A loggerConfig.clearAppenders()
> Thread A loggerConfig.waitForCompletion()
> Thread A counter.get() //returns 0
> Thread A //loggerConfig.waitForCompletion() returns
> Thread B loggerConfig.log(Event)
> Thread B counter.increment()
> Thread A proceeds assuming no log calls are onging, but thread B is in the
> log method
> {code}
> I'm not sure what the requirements are, but if the requirement is to not lose
> logging events, I think you need some sort of synchronization outside of the
> LoggerConfig object.
