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.

Backtrace of sssd_nss crash

Description of problem:
sssd_nss crashes during enumeration and with ldap_default_bind_dn in sssd.conf

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.9.2-34

How reproducible:
Almost always. The crash is in middle of enumerating 30k users on the ldap server.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup sssd with the following in domain section:
[domain/LDAP]
enumerate = True
debug_level = 0xFFF0
cache_credentials = True
ldap_search_base = dc=example,dc=org
id_provider = ldap
auth_provider = ldap
chpass_provider = ldap
ldap_uri = ldap://ldapserver.example.org
ldap_default_bind_dn = cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=org
ldap_default_authtok = password

2. Observe the domain log. Wait for enumeration to complete.
  
Actual results:
Enumeration goes on forever. And sssd_nss crashes after sometime. See attachment for backtrace.

sssd_be cpu usage is about 98%
21727 root      20   0  383m 167m 3572 R 98.1 16.9   1:09.61 sssd_be 

Expected results:
Enumeration should complete and sssd_nss should not crash.

Comment 4 Jakub Hrozek 2012-12-15 18:00:33 UTC
Kaushik can you try and reproduce the issue again? I can't see the crash with git head.

Comment 6 Kaushik Banerjee 2012-12-17 11:39:53 UTC
Using the builds from the previous comment, I haven't seen nss crash.

However I still do see the following issues:
1. Enumeration go on forever using bind-credentials. Whereas with anonymous bind(without ldap_default_bind_dn), enumeration of 30k users got over in less than 2mins.

2. Enumerating 30k users using non-anonymous bind makes sssd_be hog the cpu(98%) forever.

OK, these two are bad as well. Can you please file a separate bug and also check out if the same happened with 6.3 packages? To check out whether it is a regression or not, which would help us evaluate the priority.

Comment 9 Kaushik Banerjee 2012-12-19 11:39:55 UTC
There was a paging configuration issue on my ldap server that made me see different issues for anonymous and non-anonymous binds as discussed in comment 6.

I either case, sssd_be hogs the cpu for a very long time. I have opened bug 888739 in that regards.

Comment 12 Kaushik Banerjee 2013-01-16 08:25:58 UTC
Verified in version sssd-1.9.2-72

Verified manually. Crash is no longer seen.
