Re: (ITS#5860) slapd memeory leak under openldap 2.4
I just used tcmalloc but I still with the same behavior. slapd doesn't have limit for the cache and then it cannot run large databases.
My DB entrance is not large. One example is :
See above I have 3 DN's.
In 64 bits systems with more memory and small dn's this could be hidden but with the time all physical memory will be used.
So, I made an ldapsearch as (searching a single DN):
time ldapsearch -LLL -x -D "cn=admin,ou=CONTENT,o=domain,c=country" -w secret -b "ou=CONTENT,o=domain,c=country" -H ldap://10.142.15.42:389 'pnnumber=*'| egrep -e '^pnnumber*' |wc -l
So just one of the 3 DNs this DB has. Since the filesize is :
I have part of size load into cache(only for pnnnumber).
But slapd doesn't respect cache limits and load all into memory. It also never release it.
The entrances are not large and caches in the order of 1000 entrances should not make slapd process stay with almost 1GB of memory.
Also once it occupies this memory it never release anymore.
I use lsof and the tcmalloc is being used.
