I'm facing a strange behavior when running a JNI application that use
the mutex lock. The application hanged after running for a while on
one of our Solaris 10 machines. After investigating the stack trace of
the application, it shows that one of all the application's threads
that access the JNI hold the mutex lock forever, and that cause the
other threads cannot access the JNI. The same application works fine
on other Solaris 10 machines.
The mutex function I used as show below:
mutex_lock(&mutex)
The application hanged at this line:
0xff2cc940 ___lwp_mutex_timedlock + 0x8
The Kernel version is SunOS 5.10 Generic_142900-14
JDK 1.6 update 17 b04
Since this issue occurrs on only one Solaris 10 machine in our
environment, I'm wondering if there is any known issue regarding the
mutex lock used in JNI on Solaris 10. I tried to search the Internet
and the Java Bug database but found nothing related to this issue.
Best regards,
Krit K.
