### Description We noticed a PKG memory leak when using DMQ module's function _dmq_bcast_message_ . ### Troubleshooting #### Reproduction Issue can be reproduced with configuration below. * 3 Kamailio nodes each one listening on dedicated port 5070 for DMQ on their private IP address. * A dns name _[KAMAILIO_DNS]_ resolving these 3 nodes: ``` # dig +short A [KAMAILIO_DNS] 10.234.97.169 10.234.97.170 10.234.92.126 ``` DMQ module configured as below (example for node 1) ``` loadmodule "dmq.so" ... modparam("dmq", "server_address", "sip:10.234.97.169:5070") modparam("dmq", "notification_address", "sip:[KAMAILIO_DNS]:5070") modparam("dmq", "ping_interval", 10) modparam("dmq", "multi_notify", 1) ``` Each time an INVITE comes in, we use function below to broadcast custom message to all of the nodes: ``` ... if(is_method("INVITE")) { dmq_bcast_message("invitenotification", "invite received", "text/plain"); } ... ``` This custom message is handled as below: ``` request_route { ... if(is_method("KDMQ")) { if($Rp == 5070) route(DMQHANDLE); else drop; } ... } ... route[DMQHANDLE] { if($tU == "invitenotification") { # Doing some additional stuff here, but not the cause of the leak send_reply("200", "OK"); } else { dmq_handle_message(); } } ``` Using **sipp** to send lots of messages, we can easily notice the free PKG memory decreasing over time (using `kamcmd pkg.stats`) #### Debugging Data Processes impacted by the leak are the ones processing SIP messages. In case of TCP, it is one of the tcp receivers. When doing a dump of such processes with command below: ``` kamcmd cfg.set_now_int core mem_dump_pkg [PID] ``` Results are full of records like these ones: ``` ALERT: qm_status: alloc'd from core: core/parser/parse_from.c: parse_from_header(63) ALERT: qm_status: alloc'd from core: core/parser/parse_addr_spec.c: parse_to_param(285) ``` We are sure that the leak is generated by this DMQ broadcast function: we isolated it and noticed no leaks when removing it from a basic script configuration. We tried different configurations: * disabling multi_notify => memory leak still present * using an IP address instead of the DNS name => memory leak still present Valgrind did not help us to find out more precisely where the issue in the code could be located. ### Possible Solutions Would a _free_ of _msg->from->parsed_ be missing somewhere in DMQ code? Behavior looks very similar to https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/pull/59 ### Additional Information * **Kamailio Version** - output of `kamailio -v` ``` version: kamailio 5.3.7 (x86_64/linux) c16b3f-dirty flags: , EXTRA_DEBUGUSE_TCP, USE_TLS, USE_SCTP, TLS_HOOKS, USE_RAW_SOCKS, DISABLE_NAGLE, USE_MCAST, DNS_IP_HACK, SHM_MMAP, PKG_MALLOC, Q_MALLOC, F_MALLOC, TLSF_MALLOC, DBG_SR_MEMORY, TIMER_DEBUG, USE_FUTEX, FAST_LOCK-ADAPTIVE_WAIT, USE_DNS_CACHE, USE_DNS_FAILOVER, USE_NAPTR, USE_DST_BLACKLIST, HAVE_RESOLV_RES ``` * **Operating System**: ``` Debian 9.13 under docker Linux 4.9.0-9-amd64 ``` -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
