[1] [Discuss] Detecting Issues with Read Write Locks
----------------------
Hi Devs,
Currently we have significant amount of read write locks in Stratos codebase to
synchronize data structure updates made by multiple threads.
As I figured out recently there are several possibilities that these locks
could cause problems if not properly implemented:
Problem 1: A thread trying to acquire a write lock while having a read lock.
Problem 2: Locks acquired but not released
I just implemented a ReadWriteLock class in stratos common module which could
detect these problems. This class make use of
java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantReadWriteLock and implements additional
logic to detect problems. By default problem 2 detection logic is disabled, it
can be enabled by setting following system property:
read.write.lock.monitor.enabled=true
I have now updated all read write locks with the above class.
Following is an example scenario where I detected an unreleased lock in the
REST API:
