Description of problem:
When installing FreeIPA, ldapmodify reports Operations Error and does not write
data to LDAP (privilege objects in this case). This causes subsequent issues in
FreeIPA install:

I found a strange error in dirsrv error log (full log attached) which may be
relevant:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
389-ds-base-1.2.11.3-1.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install freeipa on F-17 and observe installation
2.
3.

Actual results:
Installation reports 389-ds errors

Expected results:
Installation succeeds without 389-ds errors

Additional info:
Target VM has 1G memory, there were several related warnings in the beginning
of the error log, not sure if it is connected with the error.

The entryrdn code does this:
{{{
for (db_retry = 0; db_retry < RETRY_TIMES; db_retry++) {
rc = cursor->c_put(cursor, key, data, DB_NODUPDATA);
if (rc == DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK) {
random_sleep();
continue; / retry /
}
...
}
}}}

Unfortunately, this won't work, according to the bdb docs:
file:///usr/share/doc/db4-devel-4.7.25/gsg_txn/C/lockingsubsystem.html

When DB determines that a deadlock has occurred, it will select a thread of control to resolve the deadlock and then return DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK to that thread. If a deadlock is detected, the thread must:

Cease all read and write operations.

Close all open cursors.

Abort the transaction.

Optionally retry the operation. If your application retries deadlocked operations, the new attempt must be made using a new transaction.

Note

If a thread has deadlocked, it may not make any additional database calls using the handle that has deadlocked.

Everywhere in our code that may potentially get a DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK return will have to bubble that error up to the highest level where the transaction was created.
