Benedict Elliott Smith updated CASSANDRA-15367:
-----------------------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> Memtable memory allocations may deadlock
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-15367
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15367
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Local/Commit Log, Local/Memtable
> Reporter: Benedict Elliott Smith
> Assignee: Benedict Elliott Smith
> Priority: Normal
> Fix For: 4.0, 2.2.x, 3.0.x, 3.11.x
>
>
> * Under heavy contention, we guard modifications to a partition with a mutex, for the lifetime of the memtable.
> * Memtables block for the completion of all {{OpOrder.Group}} started before their flush began
> * Memtables permit operations from this cohort to fall-through to the following Memtable, in order to guarantee a precise commitLogUpperBound
> * Memtable memory limits may be lifted for operations in the first cohort, since they block flush (and hence block future memory allocation)
> With very unfortunate scheduling
> * A contended partition may rapidly escalate to a mutex
> * The system may reach memory limits that prevent allocations for the new Memtable’s cohort (C2)
> * An operation from C2 may hold the mutex when this occurs
> * Operations from a prior Memtable’s cohort (C1), for a contended partition, may fall-through to the next Memtable
> * The operations from C1 may execute after the above is encountered by those from C2
