Package: libvirt-bin Version: 0.9.12-11 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
If a virt-manager client is left connected to a Debian7 libvirtd process, the memory usage of the process will continue to increase until the machine runs of RAM. The CPU usage of libvirtd is also higher than normal whilst the client is connected. To recreate, connect a Deb7 virt-manager client to a libvirtd process (via ssh) and leave connected for a long period and monitor CPU and memory usage. >From command "top": Deb7 (libvirtd process restarted and client connected for approx 60mins) PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1761 root 20 0 407m 107m 5348 S 14.0 1.3 10:44.23 libvirtd Deb7 (client disconnected) PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1761 root 20 0 408m 108m 5348 S 0.0 1.4 10:51.55 libvirtd Deb6 (clients connected and process running for weeks) PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 10090 root 20 0 262m 9060 3876 S 1 0.0 106:16.90 libvirtd So there is definately a diiference between Deb6 and 7 in terms of CPU and memory usage. Workarounds Do not leave virt-manager clients connected to Deb7 libvirtd servers for long periods Regularly restart libvirt-bin service. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libvirt-bin depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii gettext-base 0.18.1.1-9 ii libavahi-client3 0.6.31-2 ii libavahi-common3 0.6.31-2 ii libblkid1 2.20.1-5.3 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libcap-ng0 0.6.6-2 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1 ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.74-7 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.0-5 ii libgnutls26 2.12.20-6 ii libnetcf1 0.1.9-2 ii libnl1 1.1-7 ii libnuma1 2.0.8~rc4-1 ii libparted0debian1 2.3-12 ii libpcap0.8 1.3.0-1 ii libpciaccess0 0.13.1-2 ii libreadline6 6.2+dfsg-0.1 ii libsasl2-2 2.1.25.dfsg1-6 ii libudev0 175-7.2 ii libvirt0 0.9.12-11 ii libxenstore3.0 4.1.4-3+deb7u1 ii libxml2 2.8.0+dfsg1-7+nmu1 ii libyajl2 2.0.4-2 ii logrotate 3.8.1-4 Versions of packages libvirt-bin recommends: ii bridge-utils 1.5-6 ii dmidecode 2.11-9 ii dnsmasq-base 2.62-3+deb7u1 ii ebtables 2.0.10.4-1 ii gawk 1:4.0.1+dfsg-2.1 ii iproute 20120521-3+b3 ii iptables 1.4.14-3.1 ii libxml2-utils 2.8.0+dfsg1-7+nmu1 ii netcat-openbsd 1.105-7 ii parted 2.3-12 ii qemu 1.1.2+dfsg-6a ii qemu-kvm 1.1.2+dfsg-6 Versions of packages libvirt-bin suggests: ii policykit-1 0.105-3 pn radvd <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
