Motivation:
When a HashedWheelTimer instance is started or stopped, its working
thread is started or stopped. These operations block the calling
thread:
- start() calls java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch.await() to wait
for the worker thread to finish initializing;
- stop() calls java.lang.Thread.join(long) to wait for the worker
thread to exit.
BlockHound detects these calls and as a consequence, prevents
HashedWheelTimer from working properly, if it is started or stopped
in a thread that is not allowed to block.
Modifications:
Added two more BlockHound exceptions to
io.netty.util.internal.Hidden.NettyBlockHoundIntegration: one
for HashedWheelTimer.start() and one for HashedWheelTimer.stop().
Result:
HashedWheelTimer can now be started and stopped properly when
BlockHound is activated.
