I have noticed that there are a _lot_ > of memory errors reported by valgrind though (uninitialised > memory). IIRC the valgrind report is strangely at the end of mgr:info rather than mgr:mem. It also only lists details if there is *real* leaked memory. With one small exception all the reports of memory "leaks" in 3.2/3.3/3.4 series are in fact memory over-allocations. The difference is that over-allocated memory is still referenced by some part of Squid, so it *does not* show up in a leak finder like valgrind. For example; most of Victors "leak" was in fact thousands of hung asynchronous code chains/threads waiting for some network I/O which could never happen, or if it does not for some very long time. Still perfectly accessible to Squid via the index of active IDENT lookups (ie not leaked), but should have been explicitly released already. > > Pretty much all of the leaky memory is showing up as unaccounted: > Memory accounted for: Total accounted: 84306 KB 3% memPool > accounted: 84306 KB 3% memPool unaccounted: 2917158 KB > 97% > > I am using SMP workers, but turning that off doesn't fix the > issue. > If you are using a 64-bit OS then the unaccounted numbers there are bogus. They are based on mallinfo() lookup results which suffer from 32-bit wrap issues. Use the OS command line to get a memory report from top or similar instead.
