Jruby blocking in tomcat

Ruby JRuby
1

Hello,

While running a load test i saw blocking in Jconsole. All threads said

Name: http-8080-ProcessorX (where X is every thread but #7)
State: BLOCKED on org.jruby.RubyClass@23b9fe9b owned by:
http-8080-Processor7

They all pointed to Processer7. So i took a dump of processer7 but
cant really make heads or tails of it. Can someone help debug this
thread trace?

Thanks

Ahhh yes. This looks like a deadlock that is fixed on trunk/1.2. It’s
trying to invalidate method caches down a hierarchy, but at the same
time another thread is doing the same thing and they must be crossing
and trying to acquire each others’ locks. On trunk, there are no locks
involved in this process other than on a single object that does no
further calls, so this shouldn’t happen. Is it possible for you to try
this on trunk? There’s no easy workaround other than avoiding defining
new methods in multiple threads at the same time.

i can see if we can try on dev. Is there a jruby-1.1.2-complete?

Was this an issue introduced in 1.1.6 or has always been there? We
have run load tests before without seeing this issue.

It was probably introduced in either 1.1.5 or 1.1.6 when we changed the
way method caching works.

Here’s nightly builds, usually pretty solid (rarely broken):
