Description of problem:
Every few hours goa-identity-service starts some loop in communicating with SSSD KCM. CPU time usage hits 100%, indicating some kind of busy loop. Uppermost two lines from 'top':

    PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU  %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND

It looks like SSSD-KCM use more CPU, but I've observed following:
1) if I kill sssd_kcm, it get restarted and CPU usage spike again
2) if I kill goa-identity-service, CPU usage dissappears

So I conclude that GOA is constantly asking KCM for something. CPU usage for KCM is only observable when goa communicates with it.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

sssd-kcm-2.3.0-1.fc32.x86_64
gnome-online-accounts-3.36.0-1.fc32.x86_64


How reproducible:
Happens at least 4 times a day.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use computer normally.
2.
3.

Additional info:
3 seconds of stracing goa-identity-service attached.

Same here with sssd-kcm

Comment 2 Tomasz Torcz 2020-10-03 15:19:59 UTC
Still happening with gnome-online-accounts-3.37.90-1.fc33.x86_64
I think this may be https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/-/issues/79

Comment 3 Michal Konecny 2020-10-31 11:04:52 UTC
I can confirm this is still happening on Fedora 33 Silverblue.
gnome-online-accounts-3.38.0-1.fc33.x86_64

Comment 4 Fedora Program Management 2021-04-29 16:30:06 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '32'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Arjen Heidinga 2021-05-10 08:47:00 UTC
This is still an issue on Fedora 34.

Comment 6 Debarshi Ray 2021-05-20 18:23:08 UTC

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1645624 ***

Comment 7 Sam Morris 2022-11-26 17:25:16 UTC
This isn't a dupe of bug 1645624. This bug is (one of) the causes of that bug. (sssd_kcm's high CPU usage because it's being spammed with requests from goa-identity-service).

This can be observed by sending SIGSTOP to goa-identity-service and seeing that sssd_kcm goes idle. Then send SIGCONT and see that it's chewing CPU again.

The upstream bug is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/-/issues/79#note_1603051 - that link takes you my reproducer.

This bug is present in Fedora 36 and 37.
