RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Native code within the OpenJDK code base attempted to call close() on a file descriptor repeatedly if it returned the error code, EINTR. However, the close() native call is not restartable and this caused the virtual machine to crash. The close() call is now only made once.
Description of problem (from upstream bug):
In java.base/linux/native/libnet/linux_close.c:
do {
if (fd1 < 0) {
rv = close(fd2);
} else {
rv = dup2(fd1, fd2);
}
} while (rv == -1 && errno == EINTR);
However, the close() call is not restartable.
Only dup2() needs to be restarted if interrupted.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
All versions
Additional info:
- This is a request from one of our customers to backport the patch for https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8205959 to OpenJDK 8. This was identified as the cause of one of their applications crashing by an external vendor.
