Hi everybody.
So I ran into that high mem usage thing. The problem I have with patching
is that this is a live system so I can't do it mid day. Can anybody tell
me if it is possible to just restart the vdsm service or does the host have
to be in "maintenance mode" before restarting it? It is using gluster
storage, if that makes a difference as well.
Thanks,

Hello Michael,
I ran into the issue myself and can confirm restarting vdsm with nfs
mitgates the issue. I even had a cron job for that

This is what
I have done. The easiest way to do so is to set the host in
maintenance, wait for the migration finishes and then restart vdsm. You
sould do this only at one host and then wait a while so you do not run
into OOM on the whole cluster at once.
Or live
migrate them to NFS mounted storage so when vdsm crashes they don’t
lock up, and
clean up after you’ve had an opportunity to upgrade or patch.
Upgrade to 3.5.3 or later at your earliest opportunity, the mem leak is resolved
there. Sounds like you already found the patch you can apply if upgrading isn’t
an option, but it will still require you to restart your vdsms.
I can confirm 3.5.3 finally solved the issue for us and VDSM keeps below
100MB RSS.
