Memory leaks occur when certain applications fail to exit after unloading the Gluster libraries
Gluster consists of many internal components and different translators that implement functions and features. The `gfapi` access method was added to integrate Gluster tightly with applications. However, not all components and translators are designed to be unloaded in running applications. As a consequence, programs that do not exit after unloading the Gluster libraries are unable to release some of the memory allocations that are performed internally by Gluster.
To reduce the amount of memory leaks, prevent applications from calling the `glfs_init()` and `glfs_fini()` functions whenever possible. To release the leaked memory, you must restart long-running applications.

The bug can be reproduced on libvirt-2.0.0-10.el7.x86_64 The leak is in the gluster library. |
Created attachment 1236823 [details] The log of valgrind Description of problem: As subject Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-2.0.0-10.el7_3.2.x86_64 qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-28.el7_3.2.x86_64 glusterfs-3.8.4-10.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-514.6.1.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Prepare a running VM based on glusterfs back-end # mount -t glusterfs xx.xx.xx.xx:/gluster-vol1 /var/tmp/gls # virsh define gls.xml Domain gls defined from gls.xml # virsh start gls Domain gls started 2. Create a external snapshot based on glusterfs # virsh snapshot-create gls s1.xml --disk-only Domain snapshot snap1-gluster created from 's1.xml' # virsh snapshot-list gls Name Creation Time State ------------------------------------------------------------ snap1-gluster 2017-01-03 03:46:41 -0500 disk-snapshot # cat s1.xml <domainsnapshot> <name>snap1-gluster</name> <disks> <disk name='vda' type='network'> <driver type='qcow2'/> <source protocol='gluster' name='gluster-vol1/gls.s1'> <host name='xx.xx.xx.xx'/> </source> </disk> </disks> </domainsnapshot> 3. Attach a disk and create external snapshots on glusterfs # qemu-img create -f qcow2 /var/tmp/gls/vdb.qcow2 100M Formatting '/var/tmp/gls/vdb.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=104857600 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16 # virsh attach-device gls vdb-net.xml Device attached successfully # virsh snapshot-create gls s2.xml --disk-only Domain snapshot snap2-gluster created from 's2.xml' # virsh snapshot-list gls Name Creation Time State ------------------------------------------------------------ snap1-gluster 2017-01-03 03:46:41 -0500 disk-snapshot snap2-gluster 2017-01-03 03:46:54 -0500 disk-snapshot # cat s2.xml <domainsnapshot> <name>snap2-gluster</name> <disks> <disk name='vda' type='network'> <driver type='qcow2'/> <source protocol='gluster' name='gluster-vol1/gls.s2'> <host name='xx.xx.xx.xx'/> </source> </disk> <disk name='vdb' type='network'> <driver type='qcow2'/> <source protocol='gluster' name='gluster-vol1/gls-TT.s2'> <host name='xx.xx.xx.xx'/> </source> </disk> </disks> </domainsnapshot> 4. Destroy and start VM, attach disk, create external snapshots, one on local, one on glusterfs # virsh destroy gls Domain gls destroyed # virsh start gls Domain gls started # sleep 10 # qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/gls-ll.qcow2 100M Formatting '/tmp/gls-ll.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=104857600 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16 # virsh attach-device gls vdb-local.xml Device attached successfully # virsh snapshot-create gls s3.xml --disk-only Domain snapshot snap created from 's3.xml' # virsh snapshot-list gls Name Creation Time State ------------------------------------------------------------ snap 2017-01-03 03:47:44 -0500 disk-snapshot snap1-gluster 2017-01-03 03:46:41 -0500 disk-snapshot snap2-gluster 2017-01-03 03:46:54 -0500 disk-snapshot # cat s3.xml <domainsnapshot> <name>snap</name> <disks> <disk name='vda'> <source file='/tmp/gls.s3'/> </disk> <disk name='vdb' type='network'> <driver type='qcow2'/> <source protocol='gluster' name='gluster-vol1/gls-ll.s3'> <host name='xx.xx.xx.xx'/> </source> </disk> </disks> </domainsnapshot> 5. Destroy and start VM, create external snapshot with memory # virsh destroy gls Domain gls destroyed # virsh start gls Domain gls started # sleep 10 # virsh snapshot-create gls ss1.xml Domain snapshot snap1-mem created from 'ss1.xml' # virsh snapshot-list gls Name Creation Time State ------------------------------------------------------------ snap 2017-01-03 03:47:44 -0500 disk-snapshot snap1-gluster 2017-01-03 03:46:41 -0500 disk-snapshot snap1-mem 2017-01-03 03:48:24 -0500 running snap2-gluster 2017-01-03 03:46:54 -0500 disk-snapshot # <domainsnapshot> <name>snap1-mem</name> <memory snapshot='external' file='/tmp/gls-mem.img'/> <disks> <disk name='vda' type='network'> <driver type='qcow2'/> <source protocol='gluster' name='gluster-vol1/gls.ss1'> <host name='xx.xx.xx.xx'/> </source> </disk> </disks> </domainsnapshot> 6. Destroy VM # virsh destroy gls Domain gls destroyed Actual results: All these operations will make libvirtd occupy over 20% memory(about 2g) and never free the memory. Expected results: No memory leak Additional info: Run above steps with valgrind monitoring libvirtd: # valgrind --leak-check=full --trace-children=no --child-silent-after-fork=yes --log-file=val.log libvirtd ==4455== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==4455== Copyright (C) 2002-2015, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==4455== Using Valgrind-3.11.0 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==4455== Command: libvirtd ==4455== Parent PID: 29376 ==4455== ==4455== Warning: noted but unhandled ioctl 0x89a2 with no size/direction hints. ==4455== This could cause spurious value errors to appear. ==4455== See README_MISSING_SYSCALL_OR_IOCTL for guidance on writing a proper wrapper. ==4455== ==4455== HEAP SUMMARY: ==4455== in use at exit: 813,802,703 bytes in 21,486 blocks ==4455== total heap usage: 514,985 allocs, 493,499 frees, 3,627,381,515 bytes allocated ==4455== The full log is in the attachment.
