The gunicorn processes are always showing high memory utilization after upgrading to Satellite 6.10 and above

Issue

• After upgrading the Red Hat Satellite server to 6.10.z or 6.11.z, from version 6.10.2 or below, the pulpcore-related gunicorn processes are always consuming much higher system resources.

• After upgrading the Red Hat Satellite server to 6.13 from version 6.12 or below, the pulpcore-related gunicorn processes are consuming much more memory and frequently trigger Out Of Memory (OOM).

• Alternatively, pulpcore-worker processes are affected the same way (when publishing Content Views with filters or doing an incremental update of a CV)

• The memory utilization remains at peak while performing any content-management activities and would not be released even after the activities are completed.

• This over-utilization of system memory often results in the server performing poorly or causing Out Of Memory (OOM) kills of other processes.
