[Bug 63983] New: Jasper builds-up open files until garbage collection, hitting Linux default limit of 4096.

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63983

            Bug ID: 63983
           Summary: Jasper builds-up open files until garbage collection,
                    hitting Linux default limit of 4096.
           Product: Tomcat 9
           Version: 9.0.29
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: Jasper
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: support@aoindustries.com
  Target Milestone: -----

Starting with Tomcat 9.0.29 (but not 9.0.27, and fixed by reverting), the Java
process builds-up open files until hitting the Linux default limit of 4096.

lsof shows that the files are all those that would be checked when determining
if a JSP file needs to be recompiled (the JSP file, its includes, and all
related *.tld files).

With "development=true" (the default), the files build-up in proportion to the
request load.  With "development=false", the files build-up more consistently
(around 100 files every 10 seconds in our case).

When a garbage collection occurs, the open file count drops back to around 100.

With our heap-space of 1024 MB, combined with some include-heavy JSP pages, we
run out of file handles before garbage collection, and requests fail with
errors.

We increased the limits in /etc/security/limits.conf as a workaround, but the
fix was to downgrade to Tomcat 9.0.27.

Thanks for the report. This is another regression in the fix for the race
condition in JSP compilation that meant Jasper would see a modified JSP but
then process stale content for that file from the static resource cache.

I think I can address this with my favourite kind of fix (deleting some code)
but I want to run a few more tests before I commit the fix.
