Description David Benoit 2020-07-09 13:26:22 UTC
Description of problem:
When using libvirt IPI as a platform for openshift, the machine-controller does not terminate connections to the libvirt URI, leading to libvirtd becoming unresponsive after enough simultaneous connections occur.  Unresponsiveness is usually seen with about 5000 concurrent connections, which can occur in as little as an hour in a five node cluster.

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

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. deploy openshift on libvirt (IPI)
2. netstat -tnaup | grep 16509 | grep ESTABLISHED | wc-l

Actual results:
Cluster deploys successfully, but the number of connections to the URI grows quickly.

Expected results:
Generally not more than 2-3 concurrent connections to the libvirt URI at a given time.

Additional info:
Fix submitted upstream.
