Deadlock in AMQMessageStore when using transactions
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AMQ-1856
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-1856
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Broker
    Affects Versions: 5.1.0
         Environment: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 3)
jdk1.6.0_07
            Reporter: J Moran
            Priority: Blocker
         Attachments: thread_dump.txt

I am using ActiveMQ 5.1.0 with the AMQMessageStore (in the default 
configuration except data directory location) and sending/receiving 
transactionally using the VMTransport. This produced the deadlock shown in the 
attached (partial) thread dump, generated by jstack -l. 

In a nutshell, the VMTransport thread is holding the 
AMQMessageStore.lock=KahaReferenceStore.lock, acquired at 
AMQMessageStore.java:231, while awaiting a countDown on 
AMQMessageStore.flushLatch. The ActiveMQ Task (which is the 
AMQMessageStore.asyncWriteTask) should do the countDown on the flushLatch but 
is waiting on acquiring the KahaReferenceStore.lock first. Hence deadlock.

Note that the condition messageAcks.size() > 
this.peristenceAdapter.getMaxCheckpointMessageAddSize() must be true for the 
deadlock to occur -- this triggers the flush. 

Since the transport is one of the deadlocked threads, all access via the 
transport stops, making the broker unusable and making this issue a blocker for 
me. A comment (workaround?) as soon as possible would be much appreciated.
