[jira] Commented: (DBCP-44) [dbcp] Evictor thread in
GenericObjectPool has potential for deadlock
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DBCP-44?page=comments#action_12460095 ]
Phil Steitz commented on DBCP-44:
---------------------------------
After looking at the deadlock traces and analyzing the code some more, I think that the root of the problem in this case is contention for the DriverManager. The DriverManager methods in the traces are static synchronized. What is going on is that direct client calls to DriverManager.getConnection immediately acquire the static lock on this class and then use PoolingDriver, which needs to lock the pool. The pool Timer locks the pool and tries to use the DriverManager to access the the jdbc driver to create a new concrete connection, but can't acquire the static lock on DriverManager. The order of locks here is beyond control of dbcp. So, unless and until the Timer mechanism of pool is reworked somehow, I don't think this can be fixed.
The workaround is to either disable the pool Timer or avoid using the DriverManager as a client with PoolingDriver.

> The GenericObjectPool Evictor thread can potentially cause a deadlock between
> its connection factory and java.sql.DriverManager. The deadlock occurs when the
> Evictor thread is trying to make enough connections to bring the pool's idle
> connections up to what's specified in minIdle, at the same time a connection is
> being requested through DriverManager.getConnection(). See the attached stack
> trace dump:

> The deadlock occurs when GenericObjectPool.addObject() calls synchronized method
> PoolableConnectionFactory.makeObject(), meanwhile static synchronized
> DriverManager.getConnection() is called. makeObject() waits for the lock on
> DriverManager to be released, whereas DriverManager waits for the lock on the
> PoolableConnectionFactory instance to be released.
> The Java program below, based on ManualPoolingDriverExample.java provided with
> DBCP, duplicates the deadlock for me within several seconds of being run:
> import java.sql.*;
> import org.apache.commons.pool.*;
> import org.apache.commons.pool.impl.*;
> import org.apache.commons.dbcp.*;

> The patch I initially suggest is as follows (sorry for not providing a diff):
> In org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolableConnectionFactory.java we have:
> synchronized public Object makeObject() throws Exception {
> Connection conn = _connFactory.createConnection();
> if(null != _stmtPoolFactory) {
> KeyedObjectPool stmtpool = _stmtPoolFactory.createPool();
> conn = new PoolingConnection(conn,stmtpool);
> stmtpool.setFactory((PoolingConnection)conn);
> }
> return new PoolableConnection(conn,_pool,_config);
> }
> I suggest changing that to this:
> public Object makeObject() throws Exception {
> Connection conn = _connFactory.createConnection();
> synchronized (this) {
> if(null != _stmtPoolFactory) {
> KeyedObjectPool stmtpool = _stmtPoolFactory.createPool();
> conn = new PoolingConnection(conn,stmtpool);
> stmtpool.setFactory((PoolingConnection)conn);
> }
> return new PoolableConnection(conn,_pool,_config);
> }
> }
> Note the move of the synchronized block from the entire method to within the
> method after the connection (obtained ultimately by DriverManager) is retrieved.
> I'm afraid I don't know enough about DBCP and pooling to know the full
> ramification of this change and other calls to makeObject().
