[En-Nut-Discussion] Need help regarding PPPoE leads to memory leak

[Lasse Conrad]

Hi Jayadeep

Try to narrow in the problem area with some code like this.

//In global scope
...
size_t g_heapSizeBefore=0;
size_t g_heapSizeAfter=0;


// Then in your code.


Void Somefunction(void)
{
   ...
   g_heapSizeBefore = NutHeapAvailable();
   ...
   Calls to untrusted code which may cause memory leak..
   ...
   g_heapSizeAfter = NutHeapAvailable();

   if(g_heapSizeBefore!=g_heapSizeAfter)
   {
      // Add a break point here or even better some trace out to the debug
      port.

      printf("Memory leak found here !!\n");

   }	
}

Good bug hunting.

Lasse

Emne: [En-Nut-Discussion] Need help regarding PPPoE leads to memory leak

Hi,

                Myself Jayadeep from Agilent technologies , Bangalore,
India. We are working on PPPoE client to fix memory leak problem on long
run.

                I got mail id from one of discussion forum from Internet
http://www.egnite.de/pipermail/en-nut-discussion/2007-October/026214.html

                I just registered myself into egnite discussion forum with
mail id -> Jayadeep_bantwal at agilent.com

                We have a product which generates multiple PPPoE request ( >
5000 requests repeatedly, concurrently). While running this we are ending up
in system hogging entire RAM.

                We are using 2.4.18 kernel.

                It would be great if you can help us in this regard.

 

Thanks,

     Jay
