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:

As per Christian Heimes <cheimes>:

while I was investigating performance issues in FreeIPA, I noticed that
both F25 and RHEL come with an older version of python-idna. That
version has a serious performance issue. It takes round about 100ms to
import the idna package. Import increases RAM consumption of the process
(RSS) by about 20 MB.

https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/issues/3409#issuecomment-281095501

It affects IPA framework, IPA command line, Custodia, and any other
application that import python-cryptography. Right now we are wasting 60
MB (2x20 MB for IPA WSGI processes, 1x20 MB for Custodia). For FreeIPA
4.5 I'm planning to bump up the WSGI daemon processes from 2 to 5.

Is it still possible to request a RHEL rebase of python-idna?

Christian

Verified using IPA and Python-idna version ::

# rpm -qa ipa-server python-idna
ipa-server-4.5.0-13.el7.x86_64
python-idna-2.4-1.el7.noarch
