RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

memory leak info

Description of problem:
Use "ctrl+c" to close libvirtMib_subagent will lead to memory leak

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-snmp-0.0.2-1.el6.x86_64
libvirt-snmp-debuginfo-0.0.2-1.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.9.4-7.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.185.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
everytimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install libvirt-snmp libvirt-snmp-debuginfo valgrind
# sudo yum install libvirt-snmp libvirt-snmp-debuginfo valgrind
	
2. prepare /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf as follows:
# cat /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
rwcommunity public
master agentx
trapcommunity public
trap2sink  localhost

3. append the following lines to /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf
# Example configuration file for snmptrapd
authCommunity log,execute,net public
logOption f /var/log/snmptraps.log

4. add the following lines to /etc/sysconfig/snmptrapd:
OPTIONS="-m ALL -p /var/run/snmptrapd.pid"

5. restart snmpd and snmptrapd service
# service snmpd restart
# service snmptrapd restart

6. run libvirt snmp agent daemon
LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI="qemu:///system" valgrind --leak-check=full libvirtMib_subagent -f -L >& tmp.log 2>&1

7. use "ctrl+c" twice to close libvirtMib_subagent
 
Actual results:
There is memory leak and the details can be seen in the "tmp.log" attachment.

Expected results:
There is no memory leak

Additional info:
Sometimes the libvirtd will die
Comment 2 Martin Kletzander 2012-02-03 10:22:27 UTC 
I confirm the bug, it's easy to reproduce but I haven't seen the libvirt daemon affected in any way.
Comment 4 Martin Kletzander 2012-05-30 15:31:18 UTC 
Two fixes have been needed to do this, one was fixed earlier in the library, the second one was pushed into the snmp code now:

Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2012-09-07 04:58:15 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Documentation isn't necessary.
