Amar Kamat commented on MAPREDUCE-1342:
---------------------------------------

What if we move the code from JobTracker.blacklistedTaskTrackers() to 
FaultyTrackersInfo. Something like
{code}
FaultyTrackersInfo {
  blacklistedTaskTrackers {
    synchronized (potentiallyFaultyTrackers) {
      synchronized (taskTrackers) {
        // code  that we have today JobTracker.blacklistedTaskTrackers()
        for (TaskTracker tt : taskTrackers.values()) {
          // ...
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
blacklistedTaskTrackers() {
return FaultyTrackersInfo.blacklistedTaskTrackers()
}
{code}

This kindof solves the lock reversal issue we are facing now and also makes 
more sense because JobTracker.FaultyTrackersInfo is the right module to answer 
the blacklistedTaskTrackers() query. Thoughts?

>          Components: jobtracker
>    Affects Versions: 0.22.0
>            Reporter: Todd Lipcon

> JT$FaultyTrackersInfo.incrementFaults first locks potentiallyFaultyTrackers, 
> and then calls blackListTracker, which calls removeHostCapacity, which locks 
> JT.taskTrackers
> On the other hand, JT.blacklistedTaskTrackers() locks taskTrackers, then 
> calls faultyTrackers.isBlacklisted() which goes on to lock 
> potentiallyFaultyTrackers.
> I haven't produced such a deadlock, but the lock ordering here is inverted 
> and therefore could deadlock.
> Not sure if this goes back to 0.21 or just in trunk.
