> An experimental change to SelectorManager::shutdown unveiled a potential deadlock between the SelectorManager thread trying to stop the HttpClientImpl, and an executor thread concurrently trying to return a connection to the pool.
>
> The issue seems to be caused by the ConnectionPool::returnToPool trying to close the returned connection when stopping, while holding the ConnectionPool state lock, and the SelectorManager thread trying to close a pooled connection, holding the connection stateLock and trying to close the channel, which caused the CleanupTrigger to fire and attempt to remove the connection from the pool.
>
> This problem was observed once with the java/net/httpclient/ThrowingSubscribersAsLimitingAsync.java test.
>
> To avoid the problem, the proposed fix is to wait until the ConnectionPool::stateLock has been released before actually closing the connection, and to wait until the PlainHttpConnection::stateLock has been released before actually closing the channel. Indeed, there should be no need to close those while holding the lock.
