Consistent 100% CPU use of safeCall-queue thread

Yes. Open openhab-cli console, and run the following commands:

config:edit org.openhab.threadpool
config:property-set safeCall 100
config:update

You can confirm that it worked in several ways:

In console, you can run these to view all current values:

config:edit org.openhab.threadpool
config:property-list

You can do cat /var/lib/openhab/config/org/openhab/threadpool.config (depending on where your installation is located).

Or you can drop the following JRuby script into OPENHAB_CONF/automation/ruby (when you have the JRuby add-on installed):

org.openhab.core.common.ThreadPoolManager.field_reader :pools
tp = org.openhab.core.common.ThreadPoolManager.pools["safeCall"]
logger.info(tp.maximum_pool_size)

You can even recover from a blocked up thread pool with this script:

org.openhab.core.common.ThreadPoolManager.field_reader :pools
tp = org.openhab.core.common.ThreadPoolManager.pools["safeCall"]

def unblock_thread_pool(tp)
  (tp.maximum_pool_size + 1).times do
    tp.submit { sleep 1 }
  end
end

unblock_thread_pool(tp)
