Hi, Mickael!

Both maps are relevant, because both of them contain id2name mappings. So you should definitely look into the avp_map too. Note that those mappings do not store AVPs, they only store the real name of the AVP, as you use in script, and they can be populated at startup (in this case they are stored in PKG) and runtime (stored in SHM). It depends when the AVP should be destroyed: if they are attached to the transaction (and they usually are), they are automatically destroyed by the tm module. Otherwise the module that uses them, should take care of that.

Hi Razvan,

I looked at both avp_map and avp_map_shm. In our case, only avp_map_shm is relevant since the leak appears in shared memory. I only see 4 elements in this map while I can see a lot of remaining AVPs when looking at the memory dump created at shutdown using QM debug. Therefore, it looks like these AVPs are not in the map. Looking at the new_avp function in usr_avp.c, I don't see at any moment that an entry is added to the map for the new AVP.

(gdb) print avp_map_shm->avl_count
$5 = 4
(gdb) print avp_map->avl_count
$6 = 140

Any idea?

At which moment during execution an AVP is destroyed? Is it required for modules returning values to script through AVPs to destroy these AVPs? or are they automatically destroyed?

Thanks,
Mickael

    Hi, Mickael!

    This is not entirely true - you can define AVPs with the integer
    value 0. Those will have avp->flags == 0 and avp->data == 0.
    What I'd do, is to note down the avp->id value of those AVPs and
    then try to see their names. To do that, you'd have to look into
    the avp_map and avp_map_shm maps to see the corresponding name for
    that id. Alternatively you can call in your script the avp_print()
    method, which prints all the AVPs for a specific transaction along
    with their id and names. Let me know how this goes.

    To add more information, I remember there was no way to define an
    integer AVP with value 0. I see a lot of such AVPs.

        Correction of my previous email.

        When I said I found AVPs without data, I may be wrong.
        avp->flags == 0 probably means the AVP data is an integer.
        So, that explains the weird values (e.g. 0x8000) I tried to
        interpret as memory addresses.

            Hi Razvan,

            Here is what I've done.

            I took a core dump of the attendant process. Then, I
            stopped OpenSIPS so that it frees allocated fragments,
            and at the end lists all fragments that are still allocated.

            In this list of fragments, I can see a lot of AVPs.

            I see some AVPs without data (avp->data == NULL,
            avp->flags == 0). But something is weird, it looks like
            that all AVPs that don't have data have the same id. It
            looks like duplicate AVPs (in different memory fragments).

            Some AVPs do have data and have a format that looks valid.

            Some AVPs looks corrupted. For example, I found an AVP
            with same ID as the AVPs without data, but avp->data ==
            0x8000 which looks completely wrong.

            Thanks,
            Mickael

                I created a core dump for the attendant process. Is
                it enough or we also need core dumps for other
                processes? Note that the leak appears in shared memory.

                We do use QM debug for this version, this is how I
                discovered the remaining AVPs at shutdown where the
                remaining allocated memory fragments are listed.

                Do you know where I should look for the AVPs in the
                core dump?

                Thanks,
                Mickael

                    I don't know what exactly might cause the leak.
                    What you can do is to try to get a core dump
                    (using tools like gcore) during low (or
                    unexisting) traffic and try to see what do the
                    AVPs that are leaking contain. Are you using QM
                    debug?

                        I may be doing something wrong but I don't
                        remember I had to take care of memory
                        management when dealing with AVPs.

                        Am I right?
