-----------------------------------
Hi William,
Thanks for the patch, however it can't resolve the problem you describe.
For the sync, your final patch didn't change anything, it still wait the
receivedtimeout and shutdown the SharedOutputBuffer.
For the async, when the code run into getHttpResponse method, this means the
client can hold a connection and send out request and the response is back
already, so wait there doesn't make sense.
What we need to do is that tell the ahc IOReactor don't repeat the message
write process when the SharedOutputBuffer is shutdown due to timeout for both
sync and async, we can do it in SharedOutputBuffer, using encoder.complete();
when SharedOutputBuffer is shutdown.
I will commit soon
Best Regards
Freeman

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-7122
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Transports
> Reporter: William Montaz
> Assignee: Freeman Fang
> Priority: Critical
>
> Using AsyncHTTPConduit, when the underlying connection pool gets exhausted,
> requests waiting for a connection will lead to an infinite loop if they reach
> receive timeout.
> The problem occured on all versions of CXF above 3.0.5 (we did not tested
> other ones).
> Let's imagine a backend that's broken and leads to timeout for all requests.
> When handling requests, the cxf worker thread will eventually go in wait
> state (AsyncHTTPConduit:618), with a timeout that matches the
> HTTPClientPolicy.setReceiveTimeout() value, waiting for the NIO stack to
> complete and call notifyAll via responseCallback (AsyncHTTPConduit:455).
> The timeout on the wait is the big problem :
> With our broken backend, the connection pool is exhausted waiting for other
> requests to timeout. When a new request is made by cxf against this backend,
> after timeout time this will happen :
> - on the one side the reactor threads will get a connection from the pool
> and try to write to the output stream. Waiting in the pool is not considered
> as receive timeout.
> - on the other side the cxf worker thread will wake up (because of the
> timedout wait), and shutdown SharedOutputBuffer and SharedInputBuffer
> (AsyncHTTPClient:624)
> - reactor threads will go to infinite loop because they will try to
> produceContent from a shutdown buffer (SharedOutputBuffer:120)
>
> From there, application recovery is compromised.
>
> To fix that, timeout should be handled only via the client callback
> (AsyncHTTPConduit:463).
