I am using mysql with mybatis and I am greeting this error on our live server

com.mchange.v2.async.ThreadPoolAsynchronousRunner$DeadlockDetector@6538f8f2 
-- APPARENT DEADLOCK!!! Creating emergency threads for unassigned pending tasks!

I don't understand why this error is coming is this because of my C3P0 setting? My C3P0 settings are like this

----start Updated-----

below is my spring-servlet.xml configuration

I updated datasource bean as

<bean id="datasource" class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource"
destroy-method="close" p:driverClass="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
p:jdbcUrl="jdbc:mysql://localhost/jdb" p:user="root" p:password="root" 
p:acquireIncrement="10" 
p:idleConnectionTestPeriod="60"
p:maxPoolSize="100" 
    p:maxStatements="0" 
    p:minPoolSize="10" 
    p:initialPoolSize="10"
    p:statementCacheNumDeferredCloseThreads="1" />
   <!-- Declare a transaction manager -->

<bean id="transactionManager"
class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSourceTransactionManager"
p:dataSource-ref="datasource" />


<bean id="sqlSessionFactory" class="org.mybatis.spring.SqlSessionFactoryBean">
    <property name="dataSource" ref="datasource" />
</bean>

<!-- scan for mappers and will automatically scan the whole classpath for xmls -->
<bean class="org.mybatis.spring.mapper.MapperScannerConfigurer">
    <property name="sqlSessionFactory" ref="sqlSessionFactory" />
    <property name="basePackage" value="com.mycom.myproject.db.mybatis.dao" />
</bean>  

and from my Dao class I call mapper method like

 myDao.updateRecords()

This is my service class method

@Override
public List<UserDetailedBean> selectAllUsersDetail(long groupId, List<Long> ids) {

    List<UserDetailedBean> usersDetailList = null;

    try {
        usersDetailList = userDao.selectAllUsersDetail(groupId, ids);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return usersDetailList;
}

In Dao class I just inject the mapper.

@Resource
private UserMapper userMapper;

@Override
public List<UserDetailedBean> selectAllUsersDetail(long groupId, List<Long> ids) {
    return userMapper.selectAllUsersDetail(groupId,ids);
}

---end updated------

please let me know if any other information is required.

---Updated----

when I added p:statementCacheNumDeferredCloseThreads="1" to datasouce bean I am getting the below error

     Error creating bean with name 'sqlSessionFactory' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml]: 
     Cannot resolve reference to bean 'datasource' while setting bean property 'dataSource'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'datasource' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml]: 
   Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException: Invalid property 'statementCacheNumDeferredCloseThreads' of bean class [com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource]: 
   Bean property 'statementCacheNumDeferredCloseThreads' is not writable or has an invalid setter method. Does the parameter type of the setter match the return type of the getter?

From http://www.mchange.com/projects/c3p0/#other_ds_configuration

numHelperThreads and maxAdministrativeTaskTime help to configure the behavior of DataSource thread pools. By default, each DataSource has only three associated helper threads. If performance seems to drag under heavy load, or if you observe via JMX or direct inspection of a PooledDataSource, that the number of "pending tasks" is usually greater than zero, try increasing numHelperThreads. maxAdministrativeTaskTime may be useful for users experiencing tasks that hang indefinitely and "APPARENT DEADLOCK" messages. (See Appendix A for more.)

maxAdministrativeTaskTime Default: 0 Seconds before c3p0's thread pool will try to interrupt an apparently hung task. Rarely useful. Many of c3p0's functions are not performed by client threads, but asynchronously by an internal thread pool. c3p0's asynchrony enhances client performance directly, and minimizes the length of time that critical locks are held by ensuring that slow jdbc operations are performed in non-lock-holding threads. If, however, some of these tasks "hang", that is they neither succeed nor fail with an Exception for a prolonged period of time, c3p0's thread pool can become exhausted and administrative tasks backed up. If the tasks are simply slow, the best way to resolve the problem is to increase the number of threads, via numHelperThreads. But if tasks sometimes hang indefinitely, you can use this parameter to force a call to the task thread's interrupt() method if a task exceeds a set time limit. [c3p0 will eventually recover from hung tasks anyway by signalling an "APPARENT DEADLOCK" (you'll see it as a warning in the logs), replacing the thread pool task threads, and interrupt()ing the original threads. But letting the pool go into APPARENT DEADLOCK and then recover means that for some periods, c3p0's performance will be impaired. So if you're seeing these messages, increasing numHelperThreads and setting maxAdministrativeTaskTime might help. maxAdministrativeTaskTime should be large enough that any resonable attempt to acquire a Connection from the database, to test a Connection, or two destroy a Connection, would be expected to succeed or fail within the time set. Zero (the default) means tasks are never interrupted, which is the best and safest policy under most circumstances. If tasks are just slow, allocate more threads. If tasks are hanging forever, try to figure out why, and maybe setting maxAdministrativeTaskTime can help in the meantime.

The default is 3 for numHelperThreads , increase this to 8-10 

setting maxAdministrativeTaskTime will help
