Or something somehow prevents to delete these projects object. For example, an exception is stored somewhere which keeps all variables alive (in Python 3, an exception stores a traceback object which keeps all variables of all frames alive).
I think I found the cause, if not the actual code issue... due to a long-standing local config typo (how embarassing), these servers had the vdsm (TCP 54321) port open to the world. It appears that something is leaking memory on bad connections (like from port scans I expect). I blocked the outside access, and the vdsmd processes are not growing since then. It'd probably be good to handle this better (and now knowing a probable cause may help someone track it down), but also I think I've solved my immediate problem. -- Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net>
