Impact: libvirt over time consumes excessive memory due to a call to libnetcf 2. Development fix: a patch to free a path which was being leaked 3. Stable fix: same as development fix 4. Test case: start libvirtd, and connect to it with virt-manager. Leave that running. Run top in a terminal, hit 'M' to sort by memory, and watch for RSS for libvirtd to grow. Give it an hour or two to grow by a few M. 5. Regression potential: there should be none as this only causes a path to be freed (after an earlier check for failure which should ensure the path is in fact allocated). ================== libvirtd is using excessive amounts of memory after a week or so of uptime: uptime  07:47:15 up 9 days, 21:49, 16 users, load average: 1.06, 2.20, 1.70 from top (sorry for the truncated line, window got resized before I copied it out. 18978 root 20 0 7334m 6.6g 672 S 1.0 42.3 504 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: libvirt-bin 1.0.2-0ubuntu11.13.04.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-23.34-generic 3.8.11 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-23-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Jul 17 07:44:41 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-01-13 (184 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.2) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: libvirt UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to raring on 2013-04-22 (85 days ago) --- ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-01-13 (184 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.2) KernLog: MarkForUpload: True Package: libvirt (not installed) ProcCmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.8.0-23-generic root=/dev/mapper/hostname-root ro rootflags=subvol=@ ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-23.34-generic 3.8.11 Tags: raring Uname: Linux 3.8.0-23-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to raring on 2013-04-22 (85 days ago) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip libvirtd lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo modified.conffile..etc.apparmor.d.usr.lib.libvirt.virt.aa.helper: [modified] modified.conffile..etc.apparmor.d.usr.sbin.libvirtd: [modified] mtime.conffile..etc.apparmor.d.usr.lib.libvirt.virt.aa.helper: 2013-06-26T00:59:03.272193 mtime.conffile..etc.apparmor.d.usr.sbin.libvirtd: 2013-06-26T00:58:56.616193
