Re: [sr-dev] updated patch for dbtext

Kamailio allocates the full size of pkg and shm zones at startup, then it does management of chunk allocations internally -- it has its own memory manager. If you see increase of used memory via 'top' tool, then it is a leak in either an external library used for a module in that configuration or a module that has enabled use of system malloc (there are just few of them, mostly those related to MI/RPC, such as xmlrpc, ctl). To look at used memory inside kamailio, use: kamcmd pkg.stats kamctl stats shmem You can recompile and reinstall kamailio with: MEMMNG=1 MEMDBG=1 Then set: memlog=1 mem_summary=12 in kamailio.cfg and restart, let kamailio to run for a while until you think the leak has made some effects. Stop kamailio and you should see a summary with the used chunks of memory printed to syslog. You can send all those log messages to me to check if there is a leak in pkg or shm managed by kamailio. A leak is indicated by a high number of chunks allocated from same place, but you should filter out those allocated at startup (eg., parsing the cfg).
