Hi jfriesse,
I changed the subject to distinguish the original 'memory leak' problem.
for this kind of case, after i stop the cpgbench program and wait for
the testcpg to deliver and display all the messages to console, and wait
for about 1 hour, the corosync still holds the memory it occupies.
In my test, when corosync holds about 70% memory in the system, i stop
the cpgbench, and wait testcpg to display all remaining messages to
console, but the corosync doesn't shrink the memory it occupies, it
still holds 70% memory.
is this kind of behavior suitable or corosync should shrink the queue it
uses and free some memory to the system?

zouyu,
Hi jfriesse,
I can reproduce this kind of memory leak. I meet with this problem some
days ago. Below are the reproduce steps:
1. install two nodes, n1 and n2.
2. on n1, start corosync and run 'testcpg cpg_bm'.
3. on n2, start corosync and run 'cpgbench'.
4. wait about 2 mins, and corosync on n1 will be killed which contains
about more than 75% memory.
Actually, 1-node cluster can also reproduce this problem, such that
'testcpg cpg_bm' and 'cpgbench' run on the same node, and corosync will
be killed about 2 mins.
yep. But this is a totally different problem. What will happen in this
case scenario is:
- cpgbench emits messages as fast as it can
- testcpg is trying to receive them and write to console. And console
writing is slow, so corosync queues dispatch messages -> problem
Actually, if you will run testcpg and redirect output to /dev/null, it
will not happen.
Sadly there is really not too much to do with this concrete problem. We
cannot simply throw messages. I can imagine to have have some kind of
global cpg queuing limit, but there can be still malicious app which
decide to not process received events -> effective DOS.
So only thing we can (in theory) do, is to kill (disconnect) application
which dispatch buffer is too big. But there is classic question. What is
too big? What if some application need more?

I have tried to use valgrind to catch the corosync, but it doesn't work
and valgrind doesn't output the valuable things.

Hello Everyone,
I think I might have isolated the problem!
Starting from this thread:
http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/14263-Proxmox-3-0-Cluster-corosync-running-system-out-of-memory
I became suspicous and started to look at my syslog (IP address
intentionally changed):

Looking at my other setup I don't see any messages like this. So, the
constant re-forming of the cluster is causing corosync to eat up all
the memory. Now I will start investigating on the network level to
see, what exactly happens there, why is there a constant changing in
the cluster, but still as the thread mentioned above says I think it
shouldn't cause such leakage of memory.

ok. I was trying reproduce your bug, sadly I was not very successful.
Can you please try to reconfigure your postgres nodes to similar
configuration like on your apache nodes? This will help me to
identify if problem is happening with postgres resource only, or with
all resources and it's problem in corosync/libqb.
Thanks,
Honza
Well, I did my best: I put the nodes into standby, so no resources run
on them - no change at all, corosync still eats memory heavily.
I think it leaves us not much doubt about what is causing it.
So here is a way to reproduce it: install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, install
0.17 libqb either from a PPA, or by compiling it.
I will create now a clean virtual machine without any resources and
see if the same happens.
Domonkos
Couldn't reproduce the issue yet in my clean virtual machines, so I'm
gonna leave corosync running inside of valgrind on the machines I had
problems for a night and see what happens.
Perfect. Hopefully you will be able to find out reproducer.
