Hi all, 
I am looking into this issue, but could not make much from the statedumps.
I will try to reproduce this issue. If i know what kind of operations (reads, writes, metadata r/ws, etc) are being done,
and if there are any other configuration changes w.r.t GlusterFS, it'll be of great help.

Subject: Re: [Gluster-users] Memory leak with glusterfs NFS on 3.2.6

Hi Philip,

I do have about the same problem that you describe. There is my setup:

Gluster: Two bricks running gluster 3.2.6

Clients:
4 clients running native gluster fuse client.
2 clients running nfs client

My nfs client are not doing that much traffic but i was able to view after a couple days that the brick used to mount the nfs is having memory issue.

i can provide more info as needed to help correct the problem.

Thank's

Xavier

I wonder if this memory leak is the cause of the NFS performance degradation
I reported in April.

That's probable, since the performance does go down for us too when
the glusterfs process reaches a large percentage of RAM. My initial
guess was that it's the file system cache that's being eradicated,
thus iowait increases. But a closer look at our munin graphs implies,
that it's also the user space that eats more and more CPU
proportionally with RAM:

There are two restarts of the whole gluster process family visible on
those graphs: one a week ago at the very beginning (white in the
memory graph, as munin couldn't fork all it needed), and one
yesterday. The drop between 8 and 9 was due to a problemv unrelated to
gluster.

Pranith: I just made one dump, tomorrow I'll make one more and mail
them both to you so that you can compare them. While I just restarted
yesterday, the leak should be visible, as the process grows a few
hundred MB every day.

thanks for the fast reply,
Philip
