[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBRULES-2135) Deadlock occurs in Multithreaded Environment NamedEntryPoint lock and AbstractWorkingMemory actionQueue sync block.

Deadlock occurs in Multithreaded Environment NamedEntryPoint lock and AbstractWorkingMemory actionQueue sync block. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-2135 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-2135 Project: Drools Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: drools-core (fusion) Affects Versions: 5.0.1.FINAL Environment: java version "1.6.0_0" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.4.1) (6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu7) OpenJDK Client VM (build 14.0-b08, mixed mode, sharing) Reporter: Jonathon Leibundguth Assignee: Edson Tirelli Priority: Critical Fix For: 5.1.0.CR1 While running drools using fireUntilHalt in multithreaded environment, the following situation results in deadlock: Thread A (Drools' Thread): AbstractWorkingMemory method executeQueuedActions() locks actionQueue: synchronized ( this.actionQueue ) Calls action.execute( this ) for each item in queue, in this case WorkingMemoryReteExpireAction to expire an event object. The WorkingMemoryReteExpireAction tries to obtain the lock in NamedEntryPoint during call to retract(). Thread B (User's Thread): attempts to execute a NamedEntryPoint insert() action simultaneously with the above. The thread obtains the NamedEntryPoint lock and blocks waiting for the lock on actionQueue. Deadlock: Thread A is blocked waiting for NamedEntryPoint lock, owned by Thread B. Thread B is blocked waiting for lock on actionQueue, owned by Thread A.
