Re: [reSIProcate] resiprocate stack memeory leak?????


Case 1:  if the call volume is very high, some messages may get lost or dropped, and the sip stack should have self protection to prevent this problem.
             Other way: Are there mechanisms for  the application to identify dangling TIDs and free them?
              Does RESIP stack have the func intefaces for application to use.

Question: if the call volume is too high, is there any mechanism for resip stack to detect it and discard any new request messages if the computer cannot handle it?

Thanks

Ok, the CLIENTTX and SERVERTX fields in the above logging statement indicate that there are lots and lots of TransactionStates lying around. Further, there are no timers left in the TimerQueue, so we aren't likely to clean any of these up. Lets talk about the server transactions first. There are a couple of likely possibilities:

1. The TU is failing to respond to some of the requests that the stack passes it; the stack will wait indefinitely for a response from the TU. It is the TU's responsibility to respond to EVERY request that is passed to it, no matter how malformed the request might be. The TU should never elect to "quietly" drop a request. Doing so is guaranteed to leak exactly one server TransactionState.

2. High load conditions (note the number of retransmissions) have caused the stack to leak transactions (I will take a closer look at this)

As for the client TransactionStates, this worries me more. There are fewer things that the TU can do wrong that will cause the stack to leak client TransactionStates. I will try to figure out what might be happening here.


So, are you using your own TU? If so, try putting a simple counter that gets incremented for each request that comes from the stack (excepting ACKs), and decremented for every final response sent to the stack. If this counter ends up being non-zero, you have a bug in your TU.

Best regards,
Byron Campen

After call generator stopped for 10 minutes, I found that the resip  statistics did not have any problem on these FIFO queues.
So I created core file and print the size of Transaction map.
There are still lot of TIDs in the transaction map. At least it is part of  culprit to hold memory.
Should there be a grarbage collection to free  these lost TIDs?

Here are the log files:

Did you verify whether or not you had a genuine memory leak (this is 
something I am very interested to know)?

My question why NoSize(0U-1)  is used for mSize when clear func is 
called.

mStateMachineFifo.size() may return either 0 or NoSize if the queue 
is empty.

It should alway return 0 if the queue is empty and NoSize should not 
be used.

NoSize causes confusion and is error prone.

mSize is
needed. Can anyone answer this (or, answer why clear is a no-op)?

          
The clear method is virtual and gets defined in the subclasses.

I believe that mSize is there as an optimization.
