#3 acl cache overflown problem
Closed: wontfix None Opened 12 years ago by nturpin.

The problem was originally described here: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/389-devel/2009-March/001020.html

Shorter description: we noticed that some queries (ldapsearch) to our directory caused a drop in performance, and our log file was filled with the following message:

acl_TestRights - cache overflown

We also noticed that increasing the value ACLPB_MAX_SELECTED_ACLS from 200 to 2000 solved the problem for us. A more permanent solution could be to make this value configurable.

We have made a patch that seems to solve the problem, as far as we have tested. I will upload it as soon as it is ready for review.

Ticket #3: acl cache overflown problem

Fix Description: We have made ACLPB_MAX_SELECTED_ACLS and ACLPB_MAX_CACHE_RE

SULTS configurable.
Their default value is still 200 (same as before). To modify this value,
you can add or
modify the attribute "nsslapd-aclpb-max-selected-acls" in the ACL plugin
config entry "cn=ACL Plugin,cn=plugins,cn=config".

    - The constants were replaced with variables (same name in lower case)
    - On init: the variables are initialized with the value contained in the

mentioned
attribute, if it exists in config. Otherwise they are set to the defau
lt value.
- The arrays that depend on these values are now dynamically allocated
- On init: acl__malloc_aclpb ( )
- On pre-operation: acl_conn_ext_constructor ( ... )
- The memory is freed:
- On shutdown: acl_destroy_aclpb_pool()
- On post-operation: acl_conn_ext_destructor ( ... )
- I also free the space for aclQueue in acl_destroy_aclpb_pool(), since
it seems
it is not done anywhere.

Platforms tested: Fedora 16, RHEL6
Reviewed by: rmeggins (and changed name of attribute slightly)

Added initial screened field value.
