Graham Dumpleton closed MODPYTHON-182. -------------------------------------- > Memory leak in request readline() > --------------------------------- > > Key: MODPYTHON-182 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-182 > Project: mod_python > Issue Type: Bug > Components: core > Affects Versions: 3.3, 3.2.x, 3.2.10 > Environment: Apache 2.0.55 mpm-worker > Reporter: Jim Gallacher > Assigned To: Jim Gallacher > Fix For: 3.3 > > > There is at least one memory leak request.readline(). I'm currently auditing > the code so there may well be others. > I think the leak will only occur when the request body is incompletely read > with readline, which is likely an unusual corner case. The following > demostrates the leak: > Consider a request body consisting of: > '\n'.join([ 'a'*100 for i in xrange(0, 100) ]) > and using this handler: > def handler(req): > # Handler reads 20 lines but request contains 100 lines. > # Since the body is not completely read, the buffer allocated > # in requestobject.c req_readline is never freed. > req.content_type = 'text/plain' > count = 0 > for i in range(0, 20): > line = req.readline() > count += 1 > req.write('ok readline_partial: %d lines read' % count) > return apache.OK > With this test setup I'm seeing a leak of approx 10k bytes per request. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
