RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Text:	Cause: The tomstone purge thread issues a callback search that will start reading id2entry, even if the backend is stopped. Consequence: This can crash the server. Fix: When performing a search and returning entries, check if the backend is started before reading id2entry. Result: Even if the tombstone purge occurs while the backend is stopped, the server does not crash.	Story Points:	---

Description Noriko Hosoi 2014-06-13 18:03:28 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/47766

If the tombstone purging thread fires up while a backend has an online import occurring(backend state is STOPPED), the server will crash.

Comment 1 Noriko Hosoi 2014-06-17 18:11:51 UTC

STEPS:

Set up MMR.

Add large enough number of entries (e.g., 100KB) to make sure the future consumer initialization takes enough time to have tombstone purging while the initialization is running.

Set small number (e.g., 10 sec) to these config params on all the servers.
nsds5ReplicaPurgeDelay
nsds5ReplicaTombstonePurgeInterval

Delete some entries.

Restart the server.

Run consumer initialization.

If the initialization is successfully done, the fix is verified.
