DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC76846 Status: Closed

DB2HMON AGENT AND DB2THROT DEADLOCK BETWEEN LATCH AND SEMAPHORE,LEADING TO
DB2HMON HOLDING THE OLDEST TRANSACTION

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 910 - 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()
