Description of problem: satellite installer disables Pulp_max_tasks_per_child in the capsule by default, but it does not disable in the satellite. satellite 6.3.3 Fresh install system with satellite installed Ran satellite-installer -scenario=satellite In capsule server /etc/default/pulp_workers Pulp_max_tasks_per_child is commented # PULP_MAX_TASKS_PER_CHILD=2 In satellite server /etc/default/pulp_workers Pulp_max_tasks_per_child is uncommented PULP_MAX_TASKS_PER_CHILD=2 This leads to memory leaks on the capsule server
*** Bug 1643650 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Verified fix in sat 6.5 snap 11. Pulp workers is commented by default during satellite install: # To avoid memory leaks, Pulp can terminate and replace a worker after processing X tasks. If # left commented, process recycling is disabled. PULP_MAX_TASKS_PER_CHILD must be > 0. # PULP_MAX_TASKS_PER_CHILD=2

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/25511 has been resolved.
We removed all instances of the configuration for PULP_MAX_TASKS_PER_CHILD as this configuration is no longer supported as it leads to deadlocks in task processing, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1656340 if you are still seeing PULP_MAX_TASKS_PER_CHILD entries in /etc/default/pulp_workers on a Satellite or Capsule then that bug is not resolved but in our tests and internal lab hosts on fresh installations of Satellite and Capsules there is no more PULP_MAX_TASKS_PER_CHILD setting which is correct. Going to close this out as CURRENTRELEASE but if you are seeing this configuration entry still, please re-open.
