RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
This bug is found in Bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1731078 
when attaching/detaching rbd disk image for 1000 times, memory sudden change is found, reproduce with local disk image, it has memory sudden change as well. 

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


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
Copy from Bug 1731078 Comment #21:
> I did more tests on memory leak of rbd attach/detach, the memory leak issue
> has been improved a lot, from the graph(the attachment
> qemu-kvm-ceph-qemu6.0.svg), repeatedly attach/detach rbd disk doesn't has
> clear memory leak, but a sudden change of 10 MB memory is observed, this
> could be another issue. Besides, I test 1000 attaching/detaching with local
> disk image, the graph is very steady but also a sudden change is
> observed,please check attachment qemu-kvm-local-image.svg Therefore, I am ok
> to close this bug, and we could track the sudden change issue in another
> bug. Thanks.

Move RHEL-AV bugs to RHEL9. If necessary to resolve in RHEL8, then clone to the current RHEL8 release.
Comment 7 Tingting Mao 2022-07-29 06:25:03 UTC 
Tried in latest rhel9.1, there is no the issue.

Tested with:
qemu-kvm-7.0.0-9.el9
kernel-5.14.0-130.kpq0.el9.x86_64

2. Run test
# ./main.py -e 'virsh attach-device q35 rbd.xml;virsh detach-device q35 rbd.xml;sleep 2' -p "`pidof qemu-kvm`" -c 1000 -i 0.5
Or
# ./main.py -e 'virsh attach-device q35 local_image.xml;virsh detach-device q35 local_image.xml;sleep 2' -p "`pidof qemu-kvm`" -c 1000 -i 0.5


Note:
# cat rbd.xml 
    <disk type='network' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source protocol='rbd' name='rbd/image'>
