Hi Klaus,
over the weekend I looked a bit at snmpstats module. These allocated
chunks are for exporting location records. Are you pulling them over
snmp? At the first sight, there should be a free of the memory when the
records are consumed.
The fact is that they are not pulled from usrloc module at the time of
the request over snmp, but cached in snmp when registration happens.
Practically, it is a partial clone of usrloc commands, which is not the
best solution IMO, but I am not the developer. For the moment, I added a
parameter to control whether the location records should be cached by
snmpstats module or not (if not, they cannot be exported), to fix this
issue. If you actually pull the location records over snmp, let me know.
I could not test, but if you can give a try (maybe you have a testbed
for 3.2 with snmpstats) and see if the memory is steady with
export_registrar set to 0 (which is default):

Hello,
seem the leak is in snmpstats, I see lot of allocations like:
ALERT: qm_status: 37599. N address=0xf30cdf74 frag=0xf30cdf5c
size=20 used=1
ALERT: qm_status: alloc'd from snmpstats:
interprocess_buffer.c: handleContactCallbacks(143)
ALERT: qm_status: start check=f0f0f0f0, end check= c0c0c0c0,
abcdefed
ALERT: qm_status: 37600. N address=0xf30cdfb8 frag=0xf30cdfa0
size=16 used=1
ALERT: qm_status: alloc'd from snmpstats: utilities.c:
convertStrToCharString(62)
ALERT: qm_status: start check=f0f0f0f0, end check= c0c0c0c0,
abcdefed
There are some from usrloc, but very likely they are ok, because they
are persistent in shm for long time, unless snmpstats asks for some
clones of the structures from usrloc and forgets to free them (i see
one allocation is from handleContactCallbacks).
No time to look in the sources, but this is a lead to follow if you
want to investigate further.
In general, fr a memleak you have to look at allocated chunks that are
done from same place in the code and there are many of them. The
decide whether it is something that should be there for long time
(like usrloc records) or they should be freed quicker comparing with
the number of allocations.
Pkg log looks very clean, allocations only from startup time (maybe is
the main process).
Cheers,
Daniel

Indeed, DBG_QM_MALLOC is defined. So I have set
memlog=1 and dumped
mem_info with:
sercmd cfg.set_now_int core mem_dump_pkg 13286
sercmd cfg.set_now_int core mem_dump_shm 13286
The dumps were done after ~1h uptime. I can not offload the traffic
and wait until transactions are freed, thus the logs are quite huge
(~15MByte)
http://pernau.at/kd/memlog.zip
I have no idea for what I should look for - any hints how to analyze
the mem_dump?
Thanks
Klaus
