Description Pavel Moravec 2016-08-01 12:48:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
When installing and uninstalling a package in a loop, memory usage of several processes grow up. The biggest grows are:

dynflow_executor
Passenger RackApp: /usr/share/foreman


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Sat6.2 GA
foreman-1.11.0.49-1.el7sat.noarch
tfm-rubygem-dynflow-0.8.11-1.el7sat.noarch


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have some Content Host(s).
2. Monitor ps usage e.g. via:

rm -f ps.txt
while true; do date; date >> ps.txt; ps aux >> ps.txt; sleep 30; done

3. In a loop, install and uninstall a package to a content host (you can run this in parallel to speedup reproducer, I think the leak is "scalable")

action=install
while true; do
  date
  hammer -u admin -p redhat host package ${action} --host pmoravec-rhel72.gsslab.brq.redhat.com --packages "sysstat"
  if [ $action = "install" ]; then
    action=remove
  else action=install
  fi
done


Actual results:
Both VSZ and RSS in ps output grows for several processes, mainly for dynflow_executor and each "Passenger RackApp: /usr/share/foreman" instance.


Expected results:
No VSZ/RSS increase (after some time).


Additional info:
ps.txt from my test to be attached
Comment 1 Pavel Moravec 2016-08-01 12:49:21 UTC 
This can be a duplicate of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1352526 but using less intrusive and less memory-demanding reproducer.

"ps aux" output taken every 30s during reproducer

See these processes (everytime 1st and latest instance printed, to see the mem.increase):

I enabled Ruby heap analyzer and Pavel reproduced the bug, we have a full heap dump. Initial analysis:

Looks like we do a LOT of logging on package upload:

2016-08-02 14:51:05 [app] [I] Processing by Katello::Api::Rhsm::CandlepinProxiesController#upload_package_profile as JSON
2016-08-02 14:51:05 [app] [I]   Parameters: {"_json"=>[{"vendor"=>"Red Hat, Inc.", "name"=>"python-isodate", "epoch"=>0, ...... HUGE AMOUNT OF DATA }}

This is INFO level log while this should DEFINITELY be only DEBUG level log and we need to make sure it does not get serialized (only when DEBUG is enabled).
Comment 5 Lukas Zapletal 2016-08-02 12:03:43 UTC 
Looks like Rails does TON of stuff when dealing with incoming parameters - parsing, filtering, logging. We need to clean the upload_package_profile method to do minimum actions required to hand the request over to Candlepin:

- disable JSON parsing of incoming data (if that's possible - not sure if Katello just passes data over or does something with it)
- disable logging of Parameters for this method call (ideally switch it to DEBUG for whole application - INFO is annoying IMHO).

That should help a lot.
Comment 6 Lukas Zapletal 2016-08-02 12:19:13 UTC 
Unfortunately, "Parameters" logging is hardcoded in Rails, I will try to file a PR to change that.
Comment 7 Lukas Zapletal 2016-08-02 12:20:58 UTC 
And just for the record, the above measurements are from Rails app, I haven't tested dynflow at all.
Comment 8 Lukas Zapletal 2016-08-02 13:30:29 UTC 
Looks like the measurements I made are all to do with extra logging we do in Rails app, but it has nothing to do with this particular report (it's obviously for dynflow/tasks). Ignore, I filed http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/13697 ticket for Katello team to improve logging and save some CPU cycles tho (and memory) tho.

Created redmine issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/16487 from this bug
Comment 11 Pavel Moravec 2016-10-17 20:22:39 UTC 
Another reproducer - not sure of the root cause is the same or not:

Run a REX / job invocation in a loop. The more hosts, the better. Probably if some job on some host fails (sometimes), the better for the leak.

I.e. try:

while true; do hammer -u admin -p redhat job-invocation create --job-template "Run Command - SSH Default" --inputs command="ls" --search-query "name ~ rhel"; sleep 5; done

and monitor dynflow_executor RSS.
Comment 18 Pavel Moravec 2016-12-04 20:56:47 UTC 
FYI another reproducer showing the same: repeatedly create and delete a repo in a product. Copying particular steps from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1401331#c0 :


hammer product create --name=custom_product --organization-id=1 --label=custom_product

while true; do
	date
	sleep 2
	hammer repository create --content-type=yum --download-policy=immediate --label=custom_repo --name=custom_repo --organization-id=1 --product=custom_product
	hammer repository delete --name=custom_repo --organization-id=1 --product=custom_product
done


Wild guess theory:
- creating *any* task causes some memory increase happens, the task type does not matter
- wild speculation: cant overall memory consumption be in direct relationship with overall number of tasks (even successfully completed)? That would explain any fact I know about this BZ. Doesn't dynfow fetch _all_ tasks somewhere??
Comment 19 Bryan Kearney 2016-12-06 19:16:30 UTC 
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/16487 has been resolved.
Comment 20 Ivan Necas 2016-12-06 21:02:42 UTC 
We've spend a lot of time hunting the leaks in dynflow/foreman-tasks/katello code. And so far, we were not able to identify any source of long-referenced objects in memory, that would cause linear memory growth - and correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we have linear growth here over time.

From what we've seen, it seems like an issue with memory fragmentation (and the fact Ruby doesn't defragment) http://collectiveidea.com/blog/archives/2015/02/19/optimizing-rails-for-memory-usage-part-2-tuning-the-gc, which leads to the growth of the memory usage, especially at the beginning. From the testing so far, it also seems that, at the constant triggering of tasks, the memory consumption grow slows down and converges to some size eventually. The size depends on the type of tasks.

The only thing we were able to proceed with so far was ability to set top memory limit when we will restart the process to start from scratch.

Memory consumption seems to grow until memory is exhausted in the Satellite:

It might eventually converge, the problem is memory that memory in the Satellite is exhausted way before such convergence is reached.
Customers need to restart the service twice a week to prevent memory exhaustion, which is not reasonable.

That is why http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/17175 is raised - if we suspect the problem is in ruby GC we cant such simply/directly fix, let recycle dynflow executors after consuming given amount of memory.
Comment 25 Ivan Necas 2016-12-07 14:49:03 UTC 
Juan, I believe there are multiple issues that can lead to the growth, and no matter, how we tried, we were not able to get to the growth you mention just by running any tasks, and it usualy meant there are isuses in specific tasks that cause the growth. That's we we wrote [1], to provide info about possible known issues that can contribute to it and how to collect useful data for filing a BZ.

From what I've seen, I think it is higher change for this fast growth, there is an issue in specific task, rather than in dynflow/tasks. Please consult [1] and attached bugs there, and file a new bug with the collected data if not there.

Comment 30 Pavel Moravec 2017-01-06 09:48:46 UTC 
FYI similar memory increase observed when synchronizing Capsule: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1410735

While repeatedly synchronizing a fully synced repo from CDN, memory utilization is really really flat.

Can't be the cause behind this BZ and bz1410735 the same? If:

- "package install to another machine" task causes the memory growth
- "capsule sync" task causes the growth
- "repo sync" task does not cause the growth

But I dont see anything what 1st and 2nd scenario has in common but 3rd doesnt have..
Comment 31 Ivan Necas 2017-01-06 14:02:18 UTC 
What is also important IMO not the growth, but also the absolute numbers - at what memory values where the repo syncs monitored for memory growth?
Comment 35 Pavel Moravec 2017-01-10 13:14:03 UTC 
Following original reproducer on 6.2.6, dynflow_executor memory consumption stayed flat over time - good work!

I would close the BZ but I see #c32 "unresolved" (though I would suggest dealing with it within a support case first). Leaving the closure decision on engineering.
Comment 46 Satellite Program 2017-05-22 16:16:29 UTC 
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/17175 has been resolved.
Comment 48 Satellite Program 2018-02-21 16:54:37 UTC 
Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
