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:

In order to report errors with /dev/shm being full, writes zeroes to all of the pages.  This was done to resolve bug 607738.

This introduces a performance regression for utilities which query a couple of things from the object database (ex: rgmanager's cmdline utility 'clulog').

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2.3-9

How reproducible: 100%

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. time clulog -s7 hi
  
Actual results: 1+ second per run

Expected results: faster ;)

Additional info: clulog is not the only piece of software affected; it just happens to be the one I noticed.

A couple of cursory tests with Steve showed that increasing the buffer size to 4096 had a significant improvement, while values larger than that had little improvement.

[root@crackle ~]# time clulog -s7 hi
hi

real    0m0.211s
user    0m0.007s
sys     0m0.070s

[root@crackle ~]# rpm -q corosync corosynclib corosynclib-devel
corosync-1.2.3-12.el6.x86_64
corosynclib-1.2.3-12.el6.x86_64
corosynclib-devel-1.2.3-12.el6.x86_64

Works for me.
