RE: Memory leaks are observed for libgnutls in multi-thread mode

[tangtong]

Some more info for issue investigation:
1)I define my own push/pull function for transport;
   gnutls_transport_set_pull_function(session,pullFunc);
   gnutls_transport_set_push_function(session,pushFunc);

2)To support server name extension, I define the certificate call back func for credential:
    gnutls_certificate_server_set_retrieve_function(_x509Cred,certRequestCallBack);
    In certRequestCallBack():
     st->deinit_all = 0;//I think all cert/key information are shared by all session, so should not be released

According to my understanding, all memory allocated in handshake for a session will be released in gnutls_deinit(session). right?

Regards
Tony

I have redone my test and go through the memory leak points, I get the following info:

All other leaks points also show the same clues: memory leaks happen during the gnutls_handshake.

For the report of MDB, total 21130336 bytes memory leaks are observed. I have launched 167201 session in 3344 seconds.

Anybody can give me some helps? If I am not using gnutls in the proper way???

Regards
Tony

Subject: Memory leaks are observed for libgcrypt.so.11 in multi-thread mode

Hi,
My program is a multi-thread server(pthread) working in Solaris enviorment, For thread-safe consideration, according to the guide, I have defined the following macro and call the specific function during iniatlization:
GCRY_THREAD_OPTION_PTHREAD_IMPL;
 gcry_control (GCRYCTL_SET_THREAD_CBS, &gcry_threads_pthread);

Scenario1:
Launch Tls session one after another to guarantee there is no concurrency existing between tls session, there is no memory leak reported by MDB;


Scenario2:
Launch TLS session concurrently, e.g., 50 TPS,  memory leaks are reported by MDB

----------------------------------------------------------------------
   Total     529 buffers, 325752 bytes

I have disabled the session reusage and deinit tls sessions structure with gnutls_deinit().

Anybody can give me some tips on this issue?

Tony
