> Key: CXF-7122
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-7122
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Transports
> Reporter: William Montaz
> Assignee: Freeman Fang
> Priority: Critical

> Attachments: AsyncHTTPConduitTest.java

>
> Using AsyncHTTPConduit, when the underlying connection pool gets exhausted,
> requests waiting for a connection will lead to an infinite loop if they reach
> receive timeout.
> The problem occured on all versions of CXF above 3.0.5 (we did not tested
> other ones).
> Let's imagine a backend that's broken and leads to timeout for all requests.
> When handling requests, the cxf worker thread will eventually go in wait
> state (AsyncHTTPConduit:618), with a timeout that matches the
> HTTPClientPolicy.setReceiveTimeout() value, waiting for the NIO stack to
> complete and call notifyAll via responseCallback (AsyncHTTPConduit:455).
> The timeout on the wait is the big problem :
> With our broken backend, the connection pool is exhausted waiting for other
> requests to timeout. When a new request is made by cxf against this backend,
> after timeout time this will happen :
> - on the one side the reactor threads will get a connection from the pool
> and try to write to the output stream. Waiting in the pool is not considered
> as receive timeout.
> - on the other side the cxf worker thread will wake up (because of the
> timedout wait), and shutdown SharedOutputBuffer and SharedInputBuffer
> (AsyncHTTPClient:624)
> - reactor threads will go to infinite loop because they will try to
> produceContent from a shutdown buffer (SharedOutputBuffer:120)
>
> From there, application recovery is compromised.
>
> To fix that, timeout should be handled only via the client callback
> (AsyncHTTPConduit:463).
