Having ten thousands of mount bind causes various processes to go into loops
Dear,
Not sure i should report a bug so here is a report first. For more than 10 years now, we've been using mount binds to create shares rw or ro. Its been working perfectly under older Debian. A few month ago, we migrated to Ubuntu Jammy and started having processes running 100% non stop. While examining the processes in question, we could see the same thing: it seemed to be reading all the mounts indefinitely.
It started with the phpsessionclean
Anything related to systemd seems affected in a way. For instance, we cannot start haproxy if the mounts are mounted.
We understand that 14 000 mounts is a lot. So maybe our usage will be questionned. But this has been working for ages so why not now?
The problem can be very easily reproduced:
1. Launch a new jammy vm : multipass launch jammy --name mytest --memory 1G --disk 10G --cpus 1
2. Install PHP : apt-get install php
3. Execute the following script to create mounts:
#!/bin/bash
mkdir /home/ubuntu/
mkdir /home/ubuntu/mounts
for i in {1..14000}
do
echo "Mounting dir $i"
mkdir "/home/
mkdir "/home/
mount --bind -o rw "/home/
done
After that, the next time the phpsessionclean
Has anyone a clue if this is fixable? Should i report a bug?
Thanks for your help.
