Opeldap dev team,

I'm facing an issue and after many tentatives I believe this is really a bug that maybe could be identified and solved by openldap community. I tried to include dmalloc into openldap 2.4.11 code but even I could compile with it any tentative to execute the code generated "Segmentation Fault" so I could not use dmalloc to identify where the memory leak is happening.

I compiled both Berkeley DB 4.6.21 with its patches from source and then compiled openldap 2.4.11 also from source. I download both from links provided at Oracle and Openldap so I think the code is ok.

For reference I compiled Berkeley DB with the following configuration :

env CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" \ ../dist/configure --enable-largefiles --enable-java --prefix=/usr

It compiled without problems. The openldap is compiled with the following configuration :

env CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" ./configure --with-tls --enable-crypt --enable-syslog --enable-modules --enable-bdb=mod --enable-monitor=mod --enable-shared --with-gnu-ld --enable-overlays=mod --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr

It identifies correctly bdb libraries and compile without any problem. The CHANGES file make reference for ITS#5557 which I saw as possible candidate for the problem I'm having. Even with it looks like there is memory leak.

My system is a HP DL380-G3 32 bits with 12GB of memory. The OS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4. I have actually an old version of OpenLdap(version 2.1.30 with bdb 4.2.52) running in a similar machine without any problem.

The specific details are "Linux brtldp11 2.6.9-42.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jul 12 23:27:17 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux".

I made several slapd.conf files trying to control cache and see this could be a configuration problem. I put into debug 64 and the file is read correctly without any problem. Please see output below :

My DB has around 4 million entrances and the bdb DB file size is around 15GB. The DB itself is not big since the entrances are not soo big.

By openLDAP documents a DB with 4million entrances should be supported correctly into a 32 bits system.

The issue becomes clear when I try to make a ldapsearch in these DBs(bdb1 and bdb2). If I do it the memory usage by slapd start to increase until all possible memory be allocated and system start to paging. After sometime slapd cannot allocate anymore memory using malloc and slapd crashes.

After I put the cache this behavior is taking a little longer but not much longer. It ends memory in around 1 hour.

Even if I stop the ldapsearch the memory previously allocated by slad isn't released and the process can be seen in the machine top with a lot of allocated memory. The only way to release this memory is to stop slapd process manually.

I beleive there is a memory leakage but I could not identify where. My tentatives to used dmalloc were not successful and then I would like to report this bug.

Your expertise identifying if the correct patches are really applied into the openldap2.4.11 is really important to solve this issue.

Please let me know if you need more information.

Rodrigo Costa.
