Ken Giusti commented on PROTON-905:
-----------------------------------
I've merged Gordon's work around, and have dropped the Blocker status.
I'm leaving this open and assigning to Rafi as there is concern that there may
be other issues involved that have not been addressed.

> Project: Qpid Proton

> I found this issue while debugging a crash dump of qpidd.
> Long lived connections do not free its sessions/link.
> This only applies when NOT using the event model. The version of qpidd I
> tested against (0.30) still uses the iterative model. Point to consider, I
> don't know why this is the case.
> Details: I have a test script that opens a single connection, then
> continually creates sessions/links over that connection, sending one message
> before closing and freeing the sessions/links. See attached.
> Over time the qpidd run time consumes all memory on the system and is killed
> by OOM. To be clear, I'm using drain to remove all sent messages - there is
> no message build up.
> On debugging this, I'm finding thousands of session objects on the
> connections free sessions weakref list. Every one of those sessions has a
> refcount of one.
> Once the connection is finalized, all session objects are freed. But until
> then, freed sessions continue to accumulate indefinitely.
