Description Pavel Moravec 2013-09-04 15:02:47 UTC
Description of problem:
There is a memory leak in failing over HA link of ready broker, after active broker shutdown.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qpid-cpp 0.22-12


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. (in first terminal on node1)
service qpidd start
qpid-ha promote
qpid-send -a "testQueue; {create:always}" -m 1000 --content-size=100

2. (in second terminal on node2)
valgrind --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes $(which qpidd) > valgrind.txt 2>&1

3. (in first terminal on node1)
service qpidd stop
sleep 10

4. (in second terminal on node2)
(stop valgrind)

Expected results:
No definitely lost bytes.


Additional info:
creating the queue is essential for the reproducer, as well as waiting some time ("sleep 10") to let node2 broker to fail-over "qpid.ha.link.<uuid>" link first

Created attachment 793720 [details]
Full valgrind log

And I forgot to add /etc/qpid/qpidd.conf:

log-to-file=/tmp/qpidd.log
acl-file=/etc/qpid/qpidd.acl
ha-replicate=all
ha-cluster=yes
ha-brokers-url=train1,train2,train3
ha-username=guest
ha-password=guest
ha-mechanism=PLAIN

(acl-file has just "acl allow all all", authentication might not be required)

Comment 2 Pavel Moravec 2013-09-05 12:14:13 UTC
Playing with the reproducer little more:

- sufficient scenario is start&promote a broker, do some provisioning, start a backup broker under valgrind and once it gets "active" state, shut it down. 
- No primary broker shutdown is required. While provisioning updated from primary to backup is MUST.
- just the 480 bytes are lost, regardless of number of repetitions of any test case like above - that seems like the very first link creation is the guilty one

Anyway I feel valgrind is wrong here, as:
- it complains Link object to be forgotten
- that is crated from LinkRegistry.cpp (LinkRegistry::declare method) only, where it is wrapped in Link::shared_ptr. Therefore boost library should destroy Link object after removing the latest reference to it (in LinkRegistry::destroy) - moreover checking where&how Link::shared_ptr is used, I see no reason to leaving the Link object unreferenced..
- if there would be a leak in link itself, a simple federation route would trigger it as well - but I tested it is not the case; BUT Link usage outside link itself is only in Backup::setBrokerUrl where the shared_ptr reference is local variable.. Or could be the reference somehow mis-used in BrokerReplicator called there?

Fixed upstream:

Commit 1565340 from Alan Conway in branch 'qpid/trunk'
[ https://svn.apache.org/r1565340 ]

QPID-5544: HA memory leak in backup broker after shutdown.

The memory leaks were due to shared_ptr cycles between the QueueReplicator,
Bridge and Link objects. This patch breaks the cycles using weak_ptrs
in the appropriate places.
