IJ43366: HIGH CPU CONSUMPTION OBSERVED IN ZOSEVENTPORT$EVENTHANDLERTASK.RUN

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: On z/OS, high CPU consumption may be observed in
  applications using non-blocking I/O or websockets APIs, even
  while the socket connections are idle. Running the Jenkins agent
  on z/OS with "websockets" feature enabled is one scenario where
  this problem may be observed.
  .
  Stack Trace: The stack trace of the high cpu consuming threads
  may show time spent within
  sun/nio/ch/ZosEventPort$EventHandlerTask.run and its callees.
  e.g.: at sun/nio/ch/PollArrayWrapper.poll0(Native Method) at
  sun/nio/ch/PollArrayWrapper.poll(PollArrayWrapper.java:155(Compi
  led Code)) at
  sun/nio/ch/ZosEventPort$EventHandlerTask.poll(ZosEventPort.java:
  215) at
  sun/nio/ch/ZosEventPort$EventHandlerTask.run(ZosEventPort.java:2
  75) at
  sun/nio/ch/AsynchronousChannelGroupImpl$1.run(AsynchronousChanne
  lGroupImpl.java:112)
  .
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The problem is caused by a conservative registration of poll
  event types within ZosEventPort class. This issue may result in
  poll() calls in quick succession, causing increased cpu
  consumption.
  

Problem conclusion

• The implementation of ZosEventPort has been updated to register
  only the requested poll event types.
