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 of problem:

keepalived is generating a high number of close syscalls, when a third party agent never drops close events and processing this amount of events is causing the high CPU usage and node to crash


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Openshift 3.1.1.6
keepalived-1.2.13-7.el7.x86_64

How reproducible: Have not reproduced, with 3rd party application.   



Steps to Reproduce:
1.Configure Ipfailover on openshift
2.Configure 3rd party sysdig to openshift

Actual results:
Openshift node crashes 

Expected results:
keepalived to not generate as many syscalls

 keepalived 1.2.20

"Optimise closure of fds before invoking scripts.
  Every time before a script was invoked, closeall() was called,
  which would spin through 1024 file descriptors closing them, even
  though the vast majority were not open, resulting in 1024 system
  calls. To avoid that, open all sockets and file descriptors
  (except fd 0/1/2) with the CLOEXEC flag set, so that the fds will
  be closed by the kernel when the script is exec'd."

Shouldn't the component for this be keepalived?

The patch in question is upstream commit 480b451a6fb98ee1c1476c3478e366666f87fe15.
