However, `notifyCreditAvailable()` is outside our control and could potentially fail. If it fails, we have two options: 1) revert any change done by `notifyBufferAvailable()` and freeing the buffer so that it can be directly re-used by `LocalBufferPool` 2) keep everything done by `notifyBufferAvailable()` and rely on `setError()` to clean up eventually - this means we should not recycle the buffer if it was already added to the `bufferQueue`. Giving it a second thought, it may indeed be better to go for solution 2 and keep the logical execution as you proposed (infact, now I can't really think of a reason why I did not do that). We should be able to steer the recycling via the `recycleBuffer` as is already done in other cases. > Exceptions in RemoteInputChannel#notifyBufferAvailable() are not propagated > to the responsible thread > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-9755 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9755 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Network > Affects Versions: 1.5.0 > Reporter: Nico Kruber > Assignee: Nico Kruber > Priority: Critical > Labels: pull-request-available > Fix For: 1.5.2, 1.6.0 > > > The credit-based flow control implementation of > RemoteInputChannel#notifyBufferAvailable() does not forward errors (like the > {{IllegalStateException}}) to the thread that is being notified.
