[Samba] memory leak 4.4.5. but where and is it fixed already?
Hai, Im seeing memory leaks, in going throug the bug list, but i think i need some help here. Mainly what i want to know if this is fixed in 4.5.2 ( now running 4.4.5) Situation. Debian Jessie amd64, Samba 4.4.5-3. (debian stretch rebuild at that time ) on both DC’s. Both servers have the same install. DC1 uses rsync for syncing sysvol and automated backups with the backup_samba script. Bind NTP etc is setup. Uptime DC1 = 21 Days. DC2 = 2 Days Im see the following. On DC1: free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2002 1923 79 1 4 100 -/+ buffers/cache: 1818 183 Swap: 1895 903 992 systemctl restart samba-ad-dc free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2002 364 1637 1 6 112 -/+ buffers/cache: 246 1755 Swap: 1895 80 1815 A drop of about 1.5 GB ram use for DC1. And on DC2: free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2002 732 1269 40 87 294 -/+ buffers/cache: 350 1651 Swap: 1895 0 1895 systemctl restart samba-ad-dc free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2002 649 1352 40 87 293 -/+ buffers/cache: 267 1734 Swap: 1895 0 1895 A drop of about 80Mb ( but only 2 days uptime ) I did see : https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12173 ( Rsync .. memory leak around poptGetOptArg() But i dont know how this is samba related. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11985 but i dont use CTDB. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7902 Memory problems in pidl python bindings maybe ? https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11901 Reparenting in a destructor incorrectly terminates freeing of children leading to a memory leak. Maybe , looks more like it.

If so please let me know, because im not good in debugging memory leaks, And if so, i’ll wait a bit longer with upgrading to 4.5.2 for the DC’s. Best regards, Louis
