Anthony Maire commented on LOG4J2-1397:
---------------------------------------
It just doesn't work because of different orderings in the preallocated array
and the ringbuffer. Let's take a simple example:
- 2 threads
- a ringbuffer with 2 slots
So we need a preallocated array with 4 buffers
- Thread A get sequence #1 from the atomic counter, then get interrupted by the
system scheduler before doing the copy
- Thread B is still logging, it get sequence #2, #3, #4 from the counter,
pushed 2 events to the async logger (so the ringbuffer is full) and is blocked
trying to push the third
- Async Logger processed the first event submitted by thread B
- Thread B can push another event (with preallocated buffer sequence #4)
- Thread B wants to log another event, it get sequence #5 for the preallocated
array
- Thread A is resumed by the scheduler
=> Data race, both thread will copy data in the same preAllocated buffer
