Problem IC84433
|
Status: Closed |
ON LINUX PLATFORMS, DB2 FCM THREADS (DB2FMCS AND DB2FCMR) MAY HANG IN SELECT() SYSTEM CALL |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
On Linux Platforms, DB2 FCM threads (db2fmcs and db2fcmr) may
hang in select() system call due to possibly reaching file
descriptor limit . The symptom would be hard to confirm via a
stack trace of the FCM threads since the stack generation tools
(db2pd -stack, pstack, gstack, gcore) will all clear up the
hang.
With this APAR db2fcm (s and r) threads will have the ability
to use epoll() instead of select() since epoll() does not have
the file descriptor limit that select() has. This change will
not be by default but instead enabled via a registry variable -
DB2_FCM_FDPOLL. The default for this registry variable will be
FALSE on Linux. |
