PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 IBM WebSphere Application Server Full
Profile Version 8.5.5.2 users on the
Windows platform using AIO

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
TCP Channel timeout processing could
be delayed

RECOMMENDATION:

While processing a timeout the TCP Channel AIO code could end
up delaying the timeout for longer than set. This APAR is a
result of PI15453 and PM95795 being included in 8.5.5.2

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
Modified the TCP Channel AIO code to better process timeouts
