Description of problem: When running stress and performance tests against nfs-ganesha, the number of open file descriptors increases continously. If the tests run long enough, the brick processes will eventually run out of file descriptors. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): current master and older versions that have glfs_h_creat() How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup nfs-ganesha to export a (single brick) volume 2. create files on an nfs mountpoint 3. check the open file descriptors of the brick process Actual results: See the file descriptors of the brick process increase... Expected results: Increasing number of descriptors, but see it reduce again too. Additional info: This seems to be caused by glfs_h_creat() which allocates a 'struct glfs_fd', but does not release it. A normal glfs_creat() returns the file descriptor to the application, whereas glfs_h_creat() returns a handle (struct glfs_object). The file descriptor associated with the handle can not be release by glfapi-applications.

If the tests run long enough, the brick processes will eventually run out of file descriptors. This seems to be caused by glfs_h_creat() which allocates a 'struct glfs_fd', but does not release it. A normal glfs_creat() returns the file descriptor to the application, whereas glfs_h_creat() returns a handle (struct glfs_object). The file descriptor associated with the handle can not be release by glfapi-applications. This fd-leak can be prevented by destroying the 'struct glfs_fd' before returning the 'struct gfls_object' to the gfapi-application.
