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 Nathan Kinder 2013-07-25 20:14:13 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #988559 +++

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/47449

If you have multiple clients, each adding and deleting users the server will deadlock.  I created 5 ldif files.  Each ldif file added and then deleted 200 entries.  Using 5 separate ldapmodify's the server will deadlock within a minute or so.

Appears to be an issue with an entry cache lock not being unlocked:

Comment 6 mreynolds 2013-07-25 20:27:39 UTC
Steps to reproduce:

[1]  Create an instance of 389 using "dc=example,dc=com" as the suffix.
[2]  Open 5 terminals, and run 5 ldapmodifys using the supplied ldifs at the same time. Example:

    ldapmodify -D "cn=directory manager" -w password -c -f add1.ldif

[3]  Keep running these ldapmodifys until the server hangs.  Usually happens in less than a minute.

Comment 8 Amita Sharma 2013-09-30 13:11:28 UTC
Followed steps in comment#6, Server did not hang so marking bug as VERIFIED.
