Description

We're running a couple of Nginx HTTP load balancer. Since upgrading to 1.9.x/1.11.x and enabling http/2, we're seeing a growing amount of active connections.

Some plattform details:

  • Nginx runs in a Virtuozzo container
  • Guest system is Gentoo or Ubuntu 14.04
  • Nginx version we're seeing this problem:
    • 1.9.12
    • 1.0.15
    • 1.10.0
    • 1.11.1

All of them have in common, that the problem appeared after enabling http/2.

Could you provide configuration and a debug log?

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

I suppose it to be fixed by e78eca6bfaf0, b5d1c17181ca, and 72282dd5884e in nginx 1.11.3.

I can confirm that this appears to be resolved - which I'm very happy about, as for a year it had caused nginx to overflow its disk allocation by blocking eviction, and ultimately exhausted disk space.
