[SR-Users] Kamailio 4.0.4 slow memory leak

I have attached is the output of "kamcmd cfg.set_now_int core mem_dump_shm 1" to this email.  I had to restart Kamailio to load ctl and ctl_rpc, so let me know if I need to do another one after some time passes and calls are processed.

Also, here is the output of "kamctl mi get_statistics shmem:"

shmem:fragments = 398
shmem:free_size = 259170720
shmem:max_used_size = 9265184
shmem:real_used_size = 9264736
shmem:total_size = 268435456
shmem:used_size = 8559768

Thanks!

It is not needed to see the memory operations logs. Just to dump the chunks in memory.

You would need ctl and ctl_rpc modules (iirc -- they should be in the default config file), then run:

kamcmd cfg.set_now_int core mem_dump_shm 1

Extract the logs of the dump from the shared memory and send them over.

Send also the output for:

kamctl mi get_statistics shmem:

Thank you.

I have recompiled with MEMDBG, however I am not observing any additional output in my log files.
I think I have something set incorrectly in kamailio.cfg.

Here are my log settings from Kamailio.cfg

debug=3
log_stderror=no
log_facility=LOG_LOCAL0
memdbg=2
memlog=2
...
modparam("debugger", "cfgtrace", 1)
modparam("debugger", "log_level", 2)
modparam("debugger", "cfgpkgcheck", 1)
modparam("debugger", "mod_level", "core=2")
modparam("debugger", "mod_level", "tm=2")
modparam("debugger", "mod_level", "dispatcher=2")
modparam("debugger", "mod_level", "siptrace=2")

Hello,

I quickly looked over the modules that use shared memory and I couldn't spot a commit related to any leak.

Have you had the chance to compile with  MEMDBG?

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Here's a list of the modules I'm running:

mi_fifo
db_mysql
sl
kex
tm
tmx
rr
xlog
maxfwd
usrloc
registrar
textops
pv
acc
permissions
siputils
auth
lcr
dispatcher
sanity
debugger
siptrace

We're setting the memory allocation to 256 ( -m 256 -M 64 ).

I'll see about recompiling with MEMDBG=1.

Regards,
- Tim

Hello,

can you give the list of loaded modules? How much memory did you allocate (-m parameter value)?

It will narrow down searches to see if there was anything similar fixed since 4.0.4.

To troubleshoot easier, would be good to recompile with MEMDBG=1, then the details of chunks in memory can be dumped and analysed.

Cheers,
Daniel

Greetings,

I'm running into a slow memory leak on my kamailio 4.0.4 SIP proxies. I'm observing a steady increase in the memory consumption until there is no more left. Kamailio then starts repeating this in the logs:

ERROR: dispatcher [dispatch.c:279]: add_dest2list(): no more memory.

What would be the best way to debug this kind of a memory leak? The proxy does not handle any registrations but does route a fair amount of calls.

Thank you in advance,
