How reproducible:

Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
      I have a list of pending updates, for example
2.
      Run yumex-dnf and select one item from the list of updates
      and install this item and its dependencies.
3.
      Run lsof to get a list of opened files
4.
      Repeat for the next pending updates.


Actual results:

After each transaction, the number of open files in the dnfdaemon
process is increased by about 20 file descriptors.  When this number
reaches the limit, dnfdaemon will crash.

Expected results:

The number of opened files will stay almost constant,


Additional info:

For the typical case, where you run all updates in a single transaction,
there will be no problems.

Comment 1 Villy Kruse 2017-07-12 06:55:07 UTC
Issue reconfirmed after upgrade to f26.  It also seems to leak memory.
This time I tested using dnfdragora

Comment 2 Loïc Yhuel 2017-07-17 02:50:15 UTC
dnfdragora keeps dnfdaemon running on exit, so the leaks accumulate.
After a few updates, dnfdaemon-systems uses 1GB of VmRSS !

Comment 3 Villy Kruse 2017-07-17 11:49:26 UTC
It is dnfdragora-updater which keeps the dnfdaemon alive.  If you also stop dnfdragora-updater the daemon-system goes away.

On F26, I don't have the dnfdragora-gui package, and dnfdaemon runs until I kill it (with a signal, or with "dnfdragora --exit").

Perhaps using xfce, as I do, makes a difference.

This update has no effect on this bug.  The file descriptor leak is still there.

Did you restart the updater or logged out and logged in again?

I don't even run the updater at all.

While installing the test version I was only logged in in non-graphic mode, and using command line dnf to do the installation.  graphical.target was disabled until after the upgrade.

I repeated my original test case, replacing yumex-dnf by dnfdragora, and the effect is exactly the same as in the original case: for every dnfdragore transaction, the number of opened file descriptors is increasing.
