ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Linux version 2.6.13-15.8-amd64 (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)) #4 SMP Fri Mar 3 20:18:21 CET 2006

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I encountered that an asynchronous close on a SocketChannel which is configured to be blocking and has an SO_TIMEOUT will not behave as expected. I think it should exactly imitate a socket's behavior. The used socket adapter emulates timeouts by putting the socket channel into non-blocking mode and using a temporary Selector to poll the socket as far as I found out. The asynchronous close of the socket channel (or socket) doesn't know about the timed operation and so doesn't wakeup the Selector. Instead of this it hangs until the timeout run out at this stacktrace:

at sun.nio.ch.EPollArrayWrapper.epollWait(Native Method)
at sun.nio.ch.EPollArrayWrapper.poll(Unknown Source)
at sun.nio.ch.EPollSelectorImpl.doSelect(Unknown Source)
at sun.nio.ch.SelectorImpl.lockAndDoSelect(Unknown Source)
at sun.nio.ch.SelectorImpl.select(Unknown Source)
at sun.nio.ch.SocketAdaptor$SocketInputStream.read(Unknown Source)
at sun.nio.ch.ChannelInputStream.read(Unknown Source)

On Windows platform it behaves as expected.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
run the following Unittest

1. accept a socketchannel via an serversocketchannel
2. configure it to blocking
3. set an so timeout on it
4. do an asynchronous close on that socketchannel

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The Reader thread should get an ClosedChannelException in read() after about 1500 ms (the time, close() is called).
ACTUAL -
We get an SocketTimeoutException after SO_TIMEOUT which is set to 10000

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
