** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * nova-compute service which uses python-libvirt continuously grows the heap size + + + + [Test Case] + + * using valgrind tool can detect memory leak, valgrind --leak- + check=full /usr/bin/python ./d.py + + [Regression Potential] + + * patch ported from upstream. + + + [Other Info] + + * This bug fix has been fixed upstream http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-python.git;a=commitdiff;h=4acfb169400497da2a82a849dc8aaa65f88ac6d1 + + + We found a symptom like memory leak of nova-compute. Even though there are no activities of OpenStack, the heap of nova-compute continuously grows as approximately 100KB/sec. After running for a week the virtual space size of nova-compute almost reached 2.5GB. The initial size was around 1.6GB. Is this bug at upstream? And if this is bug, is there workaround or solution to avoid memory leak.
