Error description

  • If two scheduler command execution threads, executing the
    IDENTIFY DUPLICATES command, run at the same time, a mutex
    acquisition deadlock can occur which causes other server threads
    to hang.
    
    
    Diagnosing the problem:
    
    
    While the problem is occurring, collect the output of the
    Storage Manager server command 'SHOW THREADS' and look for two
    CsRunCmdThread threads, one of which is acquiring mutex
    'BFV->mutex' and the other acquiring mutex 'threadInfoP->mutex':
    
    
    Thread 23471, Parent 89: CsRunCmdThread, Storage 130645,
    AllocCnt 113 HighWaterAmt 175310
     tid=140143760840448, ptid=140145400809216, det=1, zomb=0,
    join=0, result=0, sess=0
      Holding mutex threadInfoP->mutex (0x0x3c9d528), acquired at
    bfdedup.c(1462)
      Acquiring mutex BFV->mutex (0x0x3c1d6a8) at bfdedup.c(1524)
     lwp=40049
    
    Thread 23472, Parent 89: CsRunCmdThread, Storage 108848,
    AllocCnt 80 HighWaterAmt 128715
     tid=140143775180544, ptid=140145400809216, det=1, zomb=0,
    join=0, result=0, sess=0
      Holding mutex BFV->mutex (0x0x3c1d6a8), acquired at
    bfdedup.c(1854)
      Acquiring mutex threadInfoP->mutex (0x0x3c9d528) at
    bfdedup.c(1462)
     lwp=40050
    
    
    
    This conflict will cause other threads attempting to aquire a
    BFV mutex to hang. The call stack of the hung threads will show
    the following calls (from a Linux server):
    
    
    
    __lll_lock_wait () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0
     _L_lock_854 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0
    pthread_mutex_lock () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0
    pkAcquireMutexTracked ()
    

Local fix

  • If there are two identify duplicate schedules starting at or
    about the same, the problem might be avoided by scheduling one
    of them at a later time.
