--------------------------------------
Proposed change: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/389
> Async logging should avoid submitting work from Log4jThread threads
> -------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: LOG4J2-2895
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2895
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.13.3
> Reporter: Carter Kozak
> Assignee: Carter Kozak
> Priority: Major

> In order to avoid deadlocks, when we have the option we should try to avoid
> enqueueing events for async loggers from threads that extend Log4jThread.
> Submitting events between AsyncLoggerContexts is rare, but can allow multiple
> disruptors to deadlock feeding events from one to the other. Similarly using
> both mixed async loggers with AsyncLoggerContext results in events flowing
> from one disruptor to another.
> There are several areas we can avoid these potential lockups by checking if
> the current thread is a Log4jThread and logging synchronously. Note that in
> these cases, events may be serialized to disk in an unexpected order, however
> the scenario is both sufficiently rare and dangerous that I think it's
> worthwhile to change.
