           Summary: Sendfile thread uses 100% cpu for long periods
           Product: Tomcat 6
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Tomcat 6.13 using APR, running under jsvc on linux (debian, but tomcat isn't
installed via apt-get) 2.6.21 SMP. Sun Java 1.6.0.

After tomcat was running for a short while (<15mins), cpu usage on one cpu would
go to 100%, as shown by top. Using ps xU tomcat -fL showed that one tomcat
thread was using far more cpu than all the others. Cross-referencing the thread
id to a thread dump (from kill -3) showed that it was the sendfile thread that
was consuming all the cpu time.

Tomcat was still responding to requests while this was going on, but obviously
the high cpu load was not necessary or helpful. Watching cpu usage via top
showed that at times it would return to normal, but never for long.

Workaround: I added 'useSendfile="false"' to the http connector, restarted
tomcat, and it has now run with normal cpu usage for over 12 hours.
