Description mreynolds 2014-12-02 21:39:57 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/47969

When the COS cache is released, the schema cache is not correctly freed.  We leak memory every time the cache is rebuilt.

Comment 2 mreynolds 2014-12-04 21:17:03 UTC 
Fixed upstream.

Verification steps:

[1]  setup DS using valgrind
[2]  Add 2 COS templates and definitions
[3]  Modify the template in any way
[4]  stop theserver and check the valgrind output file for "cos_cache_add_attrval"
[5]  If it's not found the leak is fixed.

there is no memory leak for COS, but there are other leaks. PFA for the valgrind output and suggest, if they required to be fixed.
I am marking this bug as VERIFIED as no leaks for COS found.

Hi Amita,

You can mark this as verified.  There are other virtual attribute search leaks, but there is already a ticket open for those.  The rest of the leaks can  be ignored and are harmless (startup) leaks.

Thanks,
Mark
