Hi, I have an SSL apllication, that it suppose to run for a long time. After some time of running, I found the usage of the memory is growing. I stop all SSL connections and checked all SSL * has been freed but it could not release the memory back to the system.
After some investigation, I found there is no memory leak, but seems lot of memory are unable to release back to system. mtrace found out there are quite a lot of fragmented memory being held by the SSL library. I would like to know what could I do to reduce the memory held by SSL library after all connections have been dropped? I am handling the SSL session through share memory myself and that part of the memory is allocated from the start. mallinfo() reports after some test and no connection for a while: system bytes = 28271952 in use bytes = 1809184 non-inuse bytes = 26462768 non-inuse chunks = 81 mmap regions = 4 mmap bytes = 1773568 Total (incl. mmap): system bytes = 30045520 in use bytes = 3582752 releasable bytes = 462496 -- qun-ying ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
