Hi Ivan,
#7 0x000056193ed6382e in idle_update ()
with cyrus-imapd 2.4.17 (cyrus-imapd-2.4.17-13.el7.x86_64 rpm)
It looks like this version is old enough to still be using signal handlers in its IMAP IDLE implementation. This is known to be a problem, and IDLE was rewritten to not use signals for 2.5 and later.
Thomas Jarosch kindly backported the rewrite for 2.4, and it has been included in releases since 2.4.19 (the current 2.4 release is 2.4.20)
Cheers,
ellie

Hello
I have gdb'ed the locked process, backtrace is below. It seems that
problem occurs when imapd process catch a signal when is inside malloc()
call. The signal handler has a malloc() call too, so finally there is
interlock between two mallocs
I have only a few time to investigate because locked processes list
grows up dramatically. So I didn't found what the signal was. But it
seems that there is a bug in imapd code...

Jonk, thank you for the idea. Somewhat looks strange as old mail server
worked w/o this problem 5+ years. But the system environment changed
dramatically, may be some filesystem quircks are significant for this
locks...
I will try gdb'ing the process when problem occurs once more

Without running gdb on the process, I have no idea, but your problem
sounds similar to something we hit a very long time ago:
See https://www.oakton.edu/user/3/jwade/cyrus/Readme.html
In our cases, the problem was the imapd process that was holding the
lock was trying to obtain a second lock on the same file. What does
a stack trace look like on the imapd process that is holding the lock?
It would appear the lock process has changed since I last looked at
this, so this may not be a help at all.
Good luck,
John

Hello
We had a company mail server under Oracle Linux 6 (a clone of RHEL6)
with cyrus-imapd 2.3.16 working for years w/o problems. There are >9M
messages in ~9500 mailboxes in two partitions. Daily mail traffic is
20-50K messages.
Some weeks ago we migrated the server to a new one under Oracle Linux
7 with cyrus-imapd 2.4.17 (cyrus-imapd-2.4.17-13.el7.x86_64 rpm) and
now have problem. Some times a week one of imapd processes locks an
"INBOX" mailbox with corresponding
/var/lib/imap/lock/user/<user>.lock file and does not unlock it
anymore. Other imapd processes trying to access this mailbox sticks
waiting to obtain the lock. The bigger problem is that lmtpd
processes trying to deliver new mail to this mailbox hangs too. The
number of lmtpd processes is limited (maxchild=32) to limit the
server load, so free lmtpd pool become empty after a time, and mail
delivery stopsto all the mailboxes. MTA (postfix) mail queue blows up
quickly
Example lsof output:

imapd 21885 cyrus 19uR REG 249,0 0 202944402
/var/lib/imap/lock/user/smilovsky.lock
In this case the root cause imapd process is 21885. strace shows that
the process waits on a futex forever:
[root@hippo4 bin]# strace -tt -f -p 21885
strace: Process 21885 attached
13:07:28.264713 futex(0x7f6dcc5ac760, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2,
NULL^Cstrace: Process 21885 detached
<detached ...>
Killing the process frees the lock, all the other stuck processes
runs and the problem disappears in a few seconds.
Investigation shows that this process has a long-term connection from
a user MUA (Thunderbird) and deletes mail messages time-to-time. This
may be a Thunderbird 'filter' thread

Problem is sporadic, I didn't see any correlation with server load,
time of day, user name and so on
Removing "maxchild=" parameter for lmtp just delay the final as the
server system resources are limited. Now I wrote a patrol script
counting locks and killing imapd if locks number is growing up. The
trouble is I can't reliably determine the root cause imapd and kill
them one-by-one
Any ideas more?
