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:

Libvirtd runs out of files after a live migration is performed. Even after increasing the maximum number of open files and after performing tasks that should reduce the number of open files, the problem persists.

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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1) perform a live migration of a virtual machine
2) FD count increases.
  
Actual results:

Errors are logged to /var/log/messages: Failed to accept connection: Too many open files 


Expected results:

no errors

Additional info:

All of the open *.aug files are caused by a bug in augeas that is documented in Bug 690286. A fix has just been committed and augeas-0.7.2-6.el6 built.

Because all of the open files are .aug, and augeas is the only package that opens these files, I'm fairly confident this is a duplicate.
