Aihe: [devuan-dev] bug#748: nfs-ganesha: ganesha has a memory leak
Package: nfs-ganesha
Version: 3.4-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

the shipped version of ganesha, version 3.4, does have a memory leak that
causes it to consume all available RAM and more. I have 4 GB installed, but
yesterday ganesha did use about 6 GB and each stat() required swapping.

I did research about this some time ago, the recommended fix was to upgrade
to 4.x. Today I tried to find that information again so I could link it but
I couldn't. Still I think that it needs an upgrade as the proper fix, there
are a lot of memory leak threads on the maintainers' github.

In case the upgrade is not possible: (Otherwise ignore this please)

Currently I'm mitigating this with cgrpups and daily restarting the service.
This (below) is the configuration that I'm trying since yesterday; I added
memory.soft_limit_in_bytes. memory.limit_in_bytes alone did not help.
Today the process did behave as expected.

$ cat /etc/boot.d/00cgconfig
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/cgconfigparser -l /etc/cgconfig.conf
/usr/sbin/cgrulesengd
exit 0


/etc/cgconfig.conf:group daemon/nfsd {
/etc/cgconfig.conf:  cpu {
/etc/cgconfig.conf:    cpu.shares = 500;
/etc/cgconfig.conf:  }
/etc/cgconfig.conf:  memory {
/etc/cgconfig.conf:    memory.limit_in_bytes = 1000000000;
/etc/cgconfig.conf:    memory.soft_limit_in_bytes = 1000000000;
/etc/cgconfig.conf:  }
/etc/cgconfig.conf:}
