Description Peter Hunt 2020-09-02 23:55:56 UTC
Description of problem:
when a ctrcfg is applied, the resulting configuration has unintended changes. The most notable is the value of `default_env` becomes empty. The others (all containers/storage parameters) can be empty, because of the way crio mixes crio.conf and storage.conf. However, the default_env being empty can cause regressions in nss db.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.4 and 4.3

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. run `crio config` on a node
2. apply any ctrcfg
3. run `crio config` on a node, and observe the difference

Actual results:
the field
```
    default_env = [
        "NSS_SDB_USE_CACHE=no",
    ]
```
is now
```
    default_env = [
    ]
```
Expected results:
default_env should not have been emptied

Comment 1 Peter Hunt 2020-09-02 23:57:15 UTC
This comes from the vendored version of cri-o becoming out of sync with the version of cri-o in openshift. When we make a change in the configuration values, we need to update the vendor.

From my testing, this is no longer the case in 4.6, as it has a vendored version of cri-o that contains default_env
