metatech updated FELIX-3067:
----------------------------
Attachment: felix_unblock_deadlock_v4.patch
felix_unblock_deadlock_v4.patch is another version that also handles the case
when the blocked thread is in "waiting" or "timed_waiting" state.

> Every now and then we encounter deadlock situations which involve the
> Felix.acquireGlobalLock method. In our use case we have the following aspects
> which contribute to this:
> (a) The Apache Felix Declarative Services implementation stops components
> (and thus causes service unregistration) while the bundle lock is being held
> because this happens in a SynchronousBundleListener while handling the
> STOPPING bundle event. We have to do this to ensure the bundle is not really
> stopped yet to properly stop the bundle's components.
> (b) Implementing a special class loader which involves dynamically resolving
> packages which in turn uses the global lock
> (c) Eclipse Gemini Blueprint implementation which operates asynchronously
> (d) synchronization in application classes
> Often times, I would assume that we can self-heal such complex deadlck
> situations, if we let acquireGlobalLock time out. Looking at the calles of
> acquireGlobalLock there seems to already be provision to handle this case
> since acquireGlobalLock returns true only if the global lock has actually
> been acquired.
> This issue is kind of a companion to FELIX-3000 where deadlocks involve
> sending service registration events while holding the bundle lock.
