Jukka Zitting resolved JCR-2865.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 2.2.3
Assignee: Jukka Zitting
Fixed in revision 1065599 and merged to the 2.2 branch in revision 1065610.
The solution I implemented was to take an earlier version of the
DefaultISMLocking class from before JCR-2699 and adapt it into a
versioning-only read-write lock class. Besides solving the problem, this change
helps reduce coupling between the o.a.j.core.version and o.a.j.core.state
packages.

> The jackrabbit 2.2 's org.apache.jackrabbit.core.state.DefaultISMLocking has
> a defect which will cause a dead lock in concurrent use cases.
> The use case is as follows:
> 1. Thread A apply a read lock, now there is an active reader hold the read
> lock.
> 2. Thread B apply a write lock, and then thread B will wait for thread A's
> reading end. You could see below code snippet from the Jackrabbit source.
> readerCount is the current active reader.
> writersWaiting++;
> while (writerId != null? !isSameThreadId(writerId, currentId) : readerCount >
> 0) {
> wait();
> }
> 3. Thread A apply another read lock, then it will wait too, since there is
> a writer is waiting. Then a dead lock happens.
> while (writerId != null? (writerCount > 0 && !isSameThreadId(writerId,
> currentId)): writersWaiting > 0) {
> wait();
> }
> Since the lock in DefaultISMLocking is global lock, so I think if a thread
> has already hold a reader lock, it could get the reader lock again. I create
> a fix with this idea.
