Hide Forgot
Description of problem: The requests that the responders send to the Data Providers are allocated on the global context to ensure that even if the client disconnects, there is someone to read the reply. However, we forgot to free the structure that represents the request, which meant that the sssd_nss process grew over time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.9.2-4 How reproducible: quite hard Steps to Reproduce: 1. set a very low cache timeout 2. run account requests in parallel 3. observe the sssd_nss process growing Actual results: sssd_nss process is growing Expected results: the consumption should stay pretty much the same Additional info: This is not easily reproducable, but apart from running many requests and watching the consumption grow, a quicker, but more involved way might be to check with the gdb that no tevent_req structures are allocated on top of the rctx after a request finishes. Please let me know which approach is preferable for QE.

STI IPA automated testing can reproduce this issue and verify.
Fixed upstream.
Hey Bruce: Did you see this on the last execution? Can this be set to VERIFIED? Thanks Jenny
sssd_nss; Not a defect I wrote up but was concerned with in the past. I just happened to be collecting this process info for sssd_nss the last 8 days with a build containing Jakubs fixes during my final system test run. Load: I applied mutithread ssh/sudo runtime load against the Ipa clients over a 8 day period subjecting each Ipa client to 50k attempts per day cycling through 10k Ipa users. Over that period of time the ps aux process sssd_nss parameters %CPU, %MEM, VSZ, RSS was flat for both Ipa clients. Samples were taken every 10 minutes, stored in my db for historical analysis. Setup: Build Installed 11/16/2012 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.4 Beta (Santiago) IPA server version 3.0.1. API version 2.46 2 Ipa Servers 2 Ipa Clients Pkgs installed sssd-1.9.90-0.20121114T2317zgit3a97c85.el6.x86_64 sssd-client-1.9.90-0.20121114T2317zgit3a97c85.el6.x86_64 libipa_hbac-1.9.90-0.20121114T2317zgit3a97c85.el6.x86_64 ipa-client-3.0.0-107.20121114T2335zgit863e15c.el6.x86_64 ipa-python-3.0.0-107.20121114T2335zgit863e15c.el6.x86_64 ipa-server-selinux-3.0.0-107.20121114T2335zgit863e15c.el6.x86_64 ipa-pki-ca-theme-9.0.3-7.20121114T2248z.el6.noarch libipa_hbac-python-1.9.90-0.20121114T2317zgit3a97c85.el6.x86_64 ipa-server-3.0.0-107.20121114T2335zgit863e15c.el6.x86_64 ipa-admintools-3.0.0-107.20121114T2335zgit863e15c.el6.x86_64 ipa-pki-common-theme-9.0.3-7.20121114T2248z.el6.noarch
