Description Danny Couture 2017-07-12 14:28:07 UTC
Description of problem:

When an error occurs on nodes, it is possible that an error unwinding function is called instead of the fuse_release function. In this case, the current state of the code will leak a 88 bytes ctx structure.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.10.3

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Setup a 3 nodes replicaset (2 nodes might be enough)
2.Write the same file over and over again on one node
3.Try to read that same file over and over again on a second node.

Actual results:
==19736== Thread 1:
==19736== 88 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 257 of 591

==19736==    by 0x1633C6FF: ???

Expected results:
no leaks

Additional info:
on our production environment, this happens often enough that we must restart the gluster process every 2-3 months to avoid OOM
