I've seen vdsmd leak memory (RSS increasing) for a while, and never
gotten anywhere with diagnosing it. I upgraded a small setup (2 hosts
with hosted engine and iSCSI SAN) last week to 4.3.7 plus latest CentOS
7.7 updates, and I am still seeing this.
Currently, there are only 3 active VMs, plus the engine, all running on
one of the two node (which is also the SPM), and vdsmd on that node is
up to 450M RSS (6 days after upgrading), which is up almost 100M in the
last 24 hours. On the other node, vdsmd RSS has not changed in the last
24 hours (83M). I have a script watching the RSS on the growing node,
and it's a pretty steady increase:
07:59:59.735 452080 +28
08:00:03.361 452104 +24
08:00:04.852 452112 +8
08:00:21.088 452116 +4
08:00:25.456 452120 +4
08:00:25.753 452124 +4
08:00:34.219 452132 +8
08:00:35.866 452136 +4
08:00:44.360 452140 +4
08:00:51.213 452144 +4
08:00:57.046 452152 +8
08:00:59.855 452160 +8
08:01:01.461 452164 +4
08:01:04.615 452168 +4
08:01:10.544 452172 +4
08:01:11.003 452180 +8
08:01:13.826 452184 +4
08:01:14.737 452188 +4
08:01:15.002 452192 +4
08:01:21.350 452196 +4
08:01:29.870 452200 +4
08:01:34.995 452208 +8
This is a problem I have in multiple oVirt setups - don't know if it is
just something about how I installed or what, but I'd really like to
work on getting this figured out and fixed.
