During Rollback Client Rejects Message after sending TxRollback
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: QPID-1871
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-1871
Project: Qpid
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Java Broker, Java Client
Affects Versions: M4, 0.5
Reporter: Martin Ritchie
Summary:
See QPID-1864 for annotated log output.
The log output is from a run with the Java broker, but highlights that the
client dispatcher thread is not synchronized with the main thread during
rollback.
As a result the main thread sends the TxRollback before the Dispatcher has sent
its Reject message. This results, on the java broker, of the unrejected message
being redelivered, which may be out of order depending on what other messages
have been released on the message queue.
If we are to continue to rely on the dispatcher thread rejecting/releasing the
message it is currently processing (i.e. the message that is neither in the
_queue preDispatchQueue nor the _synchronousQueue for receiver delivery) then
we will need to synchronize with the main thread's rollback/recover calls so
that the dispatcher can finish processing its message before the
rollback/recover completes.
The message that the Dispatcher thread has can be seen in AMQSession
L:2866:dispatchMessage().
On Rollback we stop the dispatcher (L2763) which can result in the dispatcher
thread stopping on L2877 and holding on the the message it is in the middle of
delivery.
When the dispatcher is restarted (L2792) it is then free to reject its message.
However, the thread that restarted the dispatcher's next call is to send the
rollback command(L1553) Which is where the race condition occurs.
Potential Fix:
Message Rejection should be performed BEFORE we stop the dispatcher.
On L:2825 we remove the message from the _queue (preDispatchQueue) and then
potentailly sit on the message L:2877 when we get stopped.
If the reject call in L:2888 was before the wait then we could reject the
message rather than sit on it.
Note: Now that I look at this a bit more the rollback (L2754) code looks to be
over synchronized. I'm not sure the dispatcher will actually ever stop on the
wait L2877 during rollback as the dispatcher is stopped and started again
inside the one syncronisation which would prevent the dispatcher getting to the
wait.
Moving the setConnectionStopped calls out of the sync block along and ensuring
that the _rollbackMark is updated before the connection is stopped then we
should ok.
