James Peach commented on MESOS-7122:
------------------------------------
While I agree that blocking should be avoided, the point of this bug is that it
is possible for the reaper to not reap. The reaper has to be able to reliably
reap so that forward progress can be made in the unfortunate event of code
blocking on subprocesses.
Running a separate thread for each {{waitpid}} seems expensive but would work.
You could probably also implement this by having an event loop in {{kevent}} to
monitor the PIDs directly, or by using {{signalfd}} on Linux to intercept
{{SIGCHLD}} and reap any registered PIDs.
> Process reaper should have a dedicated thread to avoid deadlock.

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: libprocess
> Reporter: James Peach
>
> In a test environment, we saw that libprocess can deadlock when the process
> reaper is unable to run.
> This happens in the Mesos HDFS client, which synchronously runs a {{hadoop}}
> subprocess. If this happens too many times, the {{ReaperProcess}} is never
> scheduled to reap the subprocess statuses. Since the HDFS {{Future}} never
> completes, we deadlock with all the threads in the call stack below. If there
> was a dedicated thread for the {{ReaperProcess}} to run on, or some other way
> to endure that is is scheduled we could avoid the deadlock.
