Hi,
I am running cyrus imapd 2.4.11 on linux machine.
Today I had a deadlock involving cyr_expire and imapd process.
imapd was locked on (strace):
fcntl64(17, F_SETLKW, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}^C
<unfinished ...>
where fd=17 is a user index file (lsof):
imapd 32314 cyrus 17u REG 8,3 30944 10462461
/var/spool/imap/domain/c/cenbench.pl/a/user/arek^dydo/cyrus.index
Unfortunetaly I did not check cyr_expire with strace, but lsof showed this:
cyr_expir 24356 cyrus 0u CHR 1,3 0t0 509 /dev/null
cyr_expir 24356 cyrus 1u CHR 1,3 0t0 509 /dev/null
cyr_expir 24356 cyrus 2u CHR 1,3 0t0 509 /dev/null
cyr_expir 24356 cyrus 3u CHR 1,3 0t0 509 /dev/null

/var/spool/imap/domain/c/cenbench.pl/a/user/arek^dydo/cyrus.index
There was 50 imapd processes (my upper limit) in locked on the same file
and a single cyr_expire. After killing cyr_expire I had to manually kill
all imapd processes to allow master to spawn new ones.
Not that my cyrus works on really, really slow machine. It is VM running
under KVM with I/O access varying from 5 to 60MB/s (as shown by hdparm -t)
Please let me know what can I do to trace it better next time.
Regards,
Łukasz
