Issue ID: 9555
Summary: Introduce a default operations timeout for
back-asyncmeta
Product: OpenLDAP
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: ---
Component: backends
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Currently, if no operation timeout is configured, the default asyncmeta
behavior is to have no timeout. This is potentially unsafe - if for some reason
a target server does not return a response, the operation will stay in the
queue until the connection is reset due to some network error (idle-timeout is
not honored if there are pending operations). In the case of many such
operations, the queues can get filled up and asyncmeta will become unable to
process new operations for some time.
Therefore, a setting of "0" should be used carefully and with intent. To
prevent accidental configuration of 0, the default operations timeout should be
a value larger than 0.
