DB2HMON AGENT AND DB2THROT DEADLOCK BETWEEN LATCH AND SEMAPHORE,LEADING TO DB2HMON HOLDING THE OLDEST TRANSACTION | |
| product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2 | |
| Problem description: | |
When DB2HMON agent has deadlocked with db2throt process, the database very likely will run out of logfiles at some point in time, by DB2HMON holding the oldest transaction. Reaching NUM_LOG_SPAN nor FORCE APPLICATION will get the agent out of the hang. The instance needs to be stopped with db2_kill to clean the situation. The needed crash recovery afterwards might need longer to complete, as more logfiles need to be processed. Stack for the DB2HMON agent: 0: _semtimedop_sys() 1: semtimedop() 2: sqloWaitEDUWaitPost() 3: SqlthStartStopControlEDU::stopEDU() 4: SqlthControllerManager::cancelAControlSubscription() 5: SqlthJobControl::~SqlthJobControl() 6: SqlthJobControl::~SqlthJobControl() 7: SqlthJob::~SqlthJob() 8: SqlthJob::~SqlthJob() 9: SqlthJobManager::removeJob() 10: sqlrRunstatsTerminateJobServices() 11: sqlrLocalRunstats() ... db2throt shows the following stack: 0: _nanosleep_sys() 1: _nanosleep() 2: sqloSpinLockConflict() 3: SqlthControllerManager::HAS_NEW_JOB_STARTED_OR_COMPLETED() 4: SqlthControllerManager::asyncControllerMain() 5: SqlthStartStopControlEDU::_asyncControllerMain() 6: sqloCreateEDU() 7: sqloSpawnEDU() 8: SqlthStartStopControlEDU::startEDU() 9: SqlthControllerManager::newControlSubscription() 10: SqlthJobControl::setPriority() ... | |
