Having adding some graphing, I see this memory issue on another production Kamailio server. A few of the processes are using significantly more pkg memory than others. What I assume is happening is that memory is leaking and will eventually start hitting OOM errors. See https://gist.github.com/phil-lavin/27f63b472ace53dc956125a47d210bc9 for pkg memory stats output.

Thanks, Daniel. That seems to be the logical explanation. I’ll apply the patch and see how it goes. Looking back, that code was based on a bit of code from modules/purple/mapping.c which also does not free the result, in a few places, in the case of 0 rows in the result. We don’t use “purple” but it’s probably worth fixing that one up too.

That can be possible if there are db results with lots of records, but in this case there are more related to column structure than row structure. Tracing back in the history of commits, I noticed a place where db result is not freed if no row is returned by query, in the presence module, patch done by you. It was not backported to 4.3, iirc, but if you did it in your branch, try with the latest patch pushed few minutes ago in master and 4.4.

I have taken and parsed the output, summing the memory usage, grouping it by file/function. Parsed output is at https://gist.github.com/phil-lavin/d2607a4eed36065e01ed42c43a0d27ad Do any of those stick out to you as being far higher than they should be? My feeling is that it’s related to the db_* stuff.
