Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Fixed In Version: 389-ds-base-1.2.10.2-15.el6 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Performing delete and search operations against the directory server under a high load with entryusn, memberof, and referential integrity enabled. Consequence: Directory server crashes. Fix: The entryusn code was modifying the entry in the cache directly. If a search thread was access the entry at the same time, the server would crash. The fix is to never modify the entry directly in the cache. Result: Server does not crash when performing searches and deletions while under a high load with entryusn, memberof, and referential integrity enabled.

Comment 2 Rich Megginson 2012-05-22 21:17:51 UTC
The problem appears to be related to entryusn/preventryusn.  The usn bepreop modifies the entry in the cache directly.  If another thread doing a search happens to read the attribute list after preventryusn has been added by usn_bepreop_delete/_usn_add_next_usn, it will crash.  I think the solution to this crash will be to _not_ modify the entry in the cache.

Comment 3 Rich Megginson 2012-05-23 00:29:27 UTC
Was able to reproduce - it is very similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=813964 - used almost the same steps except for step 1 - instead of setting up mmr, set up a single server with entryusn, referint, and memberof enabled.  The rest of the steps are the same.

Ran same UI tests as above with ipa-server-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64 and 389-ds-base-1.2.10.2-15.el6.x86_64, and didn't see the issue.
