Description
Issue Summary
Multiple customers are seeing zombie (defunct) Git processes after an upgrade to 7.x (earliest affected version reported is 7.2.4). The parent process, as expected, is Bitbucket Server so the processes are cleaned only once Bitbucket Server is restarted.
Steps to Reproduce
Upgrade Bitbucket Server from a pre-7.x version to 7.x.
Expected Results
No zombie processes are seen, as they should be reaped by parent Bitbucket Server process on completion of the related Git operation/command.
Actual Results
Following type of processes are seen:
atlbitb+ 1523 3444 0 Nov28 ? 00:00:18 [git] <defunct> atlbitb+ 1697 3444 0 Dec09 ? 00:00:37 [git] <defunct> atlbitb+ 1807 3444 0 Nov28 ? 00:00:18 [git] <defunct>
Workaround
Only known workaround is to terminate the parent process. Hence, a restart of Bitbucket Server instance cleans up the zombie processes.
