------------------------------------
Is it possible that this deadlock is related to this bug
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-6252
> Declarative services component implementing EventHookListener deadlocks SCR.
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FELIX-6190
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-6190
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Declarative Services (SCR)
> Affects Versions: scr-2.1.16
> Reporter: Ryan Moquin
> Priority: Minor
>
> When a declarative services component that implements EventHookListener is
> loaded by SCR, a deadlock occurs. This occurs since the SCR will attempt to
> get the service so it can deliver event notifications to it while it's
> already in the process of loading the service. Here is a breakdown of the
> deadlock stacktrace we ran into, I spent some time identifying the services
> that are being interacted with at the various stages in the thread
> stacktraces to come to this conclusion. After some thinking, it seems like
> the fix would be to check if an EventHookListener that needs to be loaded
> matches the service that is in progress of being loaded. I THINK that would
> prevent this deadlock from occurring. Obviously this problem can be worked
> around, but obviously is confusing when it occurs. Scott Lewis (who run the
> ECF project said it was intermittent for him), I ran into it with Equinox
> first, switched to Felix and then ran into it everytime I ran the project
> using an exported bndtools jar with the ECF. Scott initially logged this
> against Equinox and there was some discussion there. I'm attaching the issue
> to this one in case useful.
> In the below breakdown and stacktraces, the TopologyManager class (from the
> ECF project) is being loaded by the SCR. That class implements the
> EventHookListener interface:
>
> Main thread:
> SCR tries to register the TopologyManager
> Service event type 1 is fired
> Equinox/Felix iterates the event listener hooks for which the TopologyManager
> is one, so it tries to get the TopologyManager service (to do the
> notification).
> an attempt to retrieve the service count service to update the change count
> ComponentRegistry updateChangeCount method is called
> locks on monitor changeCountLock
>
> Timer Thread 0:
> ComponentRegistry locks the changeCountLock
> SCR service, properties modified - service.changecount
> fires event 2
> tries to retrieve TopologyManager, because it's EventListenerHook to notify
> of the event
> then waits on servicecount latch for static class in ServiceHolder
>
> Stack trace from Scott, I didn't save the stack traces from the threads I was
> investigating, but I can easy get them if my above explanation isn't helpful
> enough to reproduce with.
