             Summary: Deadlock in messenger recv / send when send called from different threads (proton-c 0.5)
                 Key: PROTON-423
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-423
             Project: Qpid Proton
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: proton-c
    Affects Versions: 0.5
         Environment: Linux x86 / pthread
            Reporter: Frank Quinn
         Attachments: qpid_messenger_deadlock.c

Hi Folks,

If I set a receive block to 1 message and in turn try to send to a destination from multiple messengers on different threads, it seems to cause a deadlock in send / recv. I have attached a small example which recreates this:

This is the output we expect this application to produce:

Starting qpidListenerThread...
Waiting on data to come into pn_messenger_recv...
Data received by pn_messenger_recv...
Message received with subject: 'MESSAGE FROM MAIN THREAD'
Moving back to pn_messenger_recv
Waiting on data to come into pn_messenger_recv...
Starting qpidSenderThread...
Finished with qpidSenderThread...
Data received by pn_messenger_recv...
Message received with subject: 'MESSAGE FROM PTHREAD'
Moving back to pn_messenger_recv
Waiting on data to come into pn_messenger_recv...


This is what actually gets produced (note the second message is never received)

Starting qpidListenerThread...
Waiting on data to come into pn_messenger_recv...
Data received by pn_messenger_recv...
Message received with subject: 'MESSAGE FROM MAIN THREAD'
Moving back to pn_messenger_recv
Waiting on data to come into pn_messenger_recv...
Starting qpidSenderThread...


Which deadlocks with the following backtrace:

Note that we know that this can be avoided by using the same messenger across different threads for publishing or by setting a larger receive window, but we expected this to work regardless and our existing implementation depends on it.

Cheers,
Frank
