I've seen vdsmd leak memory (RSS increasing) for a while (brought it up
on the lists and opened a BZ ticket), and never gotten anywhere with
diagnosing or resolving it. I reinstalled my dev setup Friday with
up-to-date CentOS 7 (minimal install) and oVirt 4.3, with a hosted
engine on iSCSI (multipath if it matters).
In just 3 days, vdsmd on the host with the engine has gone up to an RSS
of 481 MB. It just continues to steadily increase. Watching with a
script, I see (this is VmRSS from /proc/$(pidof -x vdsmd)/status):
12:26:32.892 482076 +20
12:26:35.300 482096 +20
12:26:38.927 482112 +16

That's an increase of 352 kB in a minute.
There's got to be some way to diagnose this, but I don't know python
well enough.

Is there any possibility of someone helping me look at this? I'm seeing
the issue much worse with 4.3 - a cluster I updated to 4.3.7 two months
ago has a host (where the hosted engine was running) where vdsmd got to
over 20G RSS.

Is there any possibility of someone helping me look at this? I'm
seeing
the issue much worse with 4.3 - a cluster I updated to 4.3.7 two
months
ago has a host (where the hosted engine was running) where vdsmd
got to
over 20G RSS.
Marcin, any suggestions how to investigate it?
Python mem profiling is hard... I
already tackled the VDSM memory leak
problem once.
VDSM was growing, but not at a scale that Chris is describing. Tried out
different tools,
but got to a point, where enforcing periodic garbage collecting made
VDSM mem usage
constant, so the conclusion made there was no mem leaks.
Chris, if I understood you correctly, a single machine suffices to
reproduce your issue?
One that acts as a host with hosted engine on it + iscsi storage?
If so, maybe I/you could construct a VM with a reproducible environment
and share?
Having something like this would make investigating this issue much more
reliable.

Yeah, I gave it a try myself (despite not being very good at Python;
been a system admin too long so I'm all about perl :) ), and didn't get
anywhere.

I don't think I've tried to reproduce it on a single machine setup. I
think I've always gone ahead and added at least a second machine (even
if there was no VM other than the engine); stopping with one to see if
it happens is a good idea. My dev cluster is actually down at the
moment (a dead UPS and nearby road/bridge construction are a bad
combination); I'll get it back online (and on a better UPS hopefully!)
today.
By "construct a VM" - do you mean building a setup inside a VM (with
nested virtualization), so everything is local? My dev cluster iSCSI
SAN is targetcli on Linux (the prod setups are all EqualLogics), so I
know how to set that up.
Thank you for your help.

Yes, basically - the simpler the better. If it takes more
than one VM
than that's fine too. The no 1 priority is reproducibility. If you can
set up an env like that with virt-manager and share the XMLs
and disks with me then I will have a solid foundation to tackle
this issue.
Thank you for your help.
