Yi Liu commented on HDFS-9137:
------------------------------
Thanks Uma, agree with that it's potential risk that can cause deadlock.
It's dangerous to have lock in {{toString()}} implementation, this function is
called sometimes but you may not notice.
> DeadLock between DataNode#refreshVolumes and
> BPOfferService#registrationSucceeded

> Key: HDFS-9137
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9137
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: datanode
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Uma Maheswara Rao G
> Assignee: Uma Maheswara Rao G
>
> I can see this code flows between DataNode#refreshVolumes and
> BPOfferService#registrationSucceeded could cause deadLock.
> In practice situation may be rare as user calling refreshVolumes at the time
> DN registration with NN. But seems like issue can happen.
> Reason for deadLock:
> 1) refreshVolumes will be called with DN lock and after at the end it will
> also trigger Block report. In the Block report call,
> BPServiceActor#triggerBlockReport calls toString on bpos. Here it takes
> readLock on bpos.
> DN lock then boos lock
> 2) BPOfferSetrvice#registrationSucceeded call is taking writeLock on bpos and
> calling dn.bpRegistrationSucceeded which is again synchronized call on DN.
> bpos lock and then DN lock.
> So, this can clearly create dead lock.
> I think simple fix could be to move triggerBlockReport call outside out DN
> lock and I feel that call may not be really needed inside DN lock.
> Thoughts?
