Description Noriko Hosoi 2014-07-09 20:27:38 EDT
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 12:57:48 EDT
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 07:34:51 EST
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.
