InboundBridge recovery aborts live transactions ----------------------------------------------- Key: JBTM-3079 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-3079 Project: JBoss Transaction Manager Issue Type: Bug Components: TxBridge Affects Versions: 5.5.32.Final, 5.9.0.Final Environment: EAP 7.1.5 / 5.5.32.Final Reporter: Jonathan Halliday Assignee: Tom Jenkinson Priority: Critical Attachments: jbtm3079.patch During a recovery pass, the InboundBridgeRecoveryManager scans for subordinate XA branches that may need cleanup. The filtering process applied by checkXid correctly excludes tx that are not owned by the bridge, but fails to ignore those that are owned but also still live. Therefore, a race condition exists such that the recovery process may incorrectly abort a branch if invoked between the prepare and commit steps, resulting in data corruption relative to other committed branches from the parent i.e. Heuristic outcomes. TRACE [org.jboss.jbossts.txbridge] (TaskWorker-3) BridgeDurableParticipant.prepare(Xid=< 131080, 35, 64, ... >) TRACE [org.jboss.jbossts.txbridge] (Periodic Recovery) rolling back orphaned subordinate tx < 131080, 35, 64, ... > ERROR [org.jboss.jbossts.txbridge] (TaskWorker-8) ARJUNA033004: commit on Xid=< 131080, 35, 64, ... > failed: javax.transaction.xa.XAException It is necessary to enhance checkXid to validate against known live tx. The easiest way would seem to be to have the InboundBridgeManager singleton hold a lookup table of live tx, effectively a secondary index into its existing collection of InboundBridges, against which the recovery system can validate the in-doubt Xid.
