IO task worker threads increase rapidly on JBoss EAP 7.0.x and 7.1.x

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • There are 0 IO worker task threads at startup, but these rapidly grow to our task-max-threads setting even with a light load on JBoss EAP 7.0.x and 7.1.x.
  • And it looks the behavior has changed on JBoss EAP 7.2.x or later. Is there any detailed information about this change?

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 7.x
