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.

Description Noriko Hosoi 2014-07-10 00:27:38 UTC
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/47733

When running the ipa test suite there are many errors like:

Operation error fetching Null DN (9999f846-a07111e3-9fe5a234-9957fd81), error -30993.

Comment 3 Noriko Hosoi 2014-10-21 16:57:48 UTC
Based upon the description of the ticket, running IPA test suite and if the "Operation error" is not logged in the error log, the fix is verified.

Can this be verified on DS alone setup? Otherwise, I need to seek help from the IPA QE team.

It looks the scenario is pretty complicated, though...

https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/47733#comment:4
The messages are logged if in an add operation the attempt to check if an entry with the nsuniquied of the new entry already exists. Normally the entry does not exist and a DB_NOTFOUND is returned and ignored.
In this case fails when trying to read the nsuniquid index because the page is locked. If this is done in a transaction the code does not wait for the lock and returns DB_DEADLOCK, so that the access will be retried. In fact the access is retied 5 times, but without waiting and so the -30993 messages are logged.

It needs a special scenario to run into this problem:
=====================================================
there are at least two backends and concurrent modifications to the backends and retro changelog needs to be enabled.
The mods to the backends can happen in parallel, but in the postop writing the retro cl both want to add an entry to the same retrocl backend.

Comment 7 Sankar Ramalingam 2015-01-30 12:34:51 UTC
I enabled retrocl plugin and added two backends. Then, tried adding/deleting/modifying entries at the same time to both databases. 
[root@sparks slapd-M1]# pwd
/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-M1
[root@sparks slapd-M1]# grep -i "fetching Null DN" *

No errors encountered as mentioned in the bug. Hence, marking the bug as Verified.
