Informix - Problem description

Problem IT06393 Status: Closed

READ AHEAD THREAD CAN FREE RPARTN MEMORY AFTER HDR PRIMARY SERVER PUTS
ITSELF INTO LOGICAL RECOVERY MODE

product:
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10
Problem description:
In a HDR pair, if the servers disconnect and reconnect, and at 
the reconnect point, the primary determines it needs to do 
logical recovery from the secondary server which switched up 
into standard mode, under some conditions if the read ahead 
thread runs at that point, it can free up memory for rpartn 
structures but leave pointers to that memory behind.  This can 
lead to various memory corruption issues with the RSAM pool, or 
invalid mutex assertion failures when the left over pointers are 
referenced as rpartn structures, but the memory is now in use as 
something else.
