Alexander A. Strelets updated ZOOKEEPER-2894:
---------------------------------------------
Description:
ZooKeeper C Client *+single thread+* build
First of all, ZooKeeper C Client design allows calling _zookeeper_close()_ in
two ways:
a) from a ZooKeeper callback handler (completion or watcher) which in turn is
called through _zookeeper_process()_
b) and from other places -- i.e., when the call-stack does not pass through any
of zookeeper mechanics prior to enter into mentioned _zookeeper_close()_
The issue described here below is +specific only to the case (b)+. So, it's Ok
with the case (a).
When _zookeeper_close()_ is called in the (b) way, the following happens:
1. +If there are requests waiting for responses in _zh.sent_requests_ queue+,
they all are removed from this queue and each of them is "completed" with
personal fake response having status ZCLOSING. Such fake responses are put into
_zh.completions_to_process_ queue. It's Ok
2. But then, _zh.completions_to_process_ queue is left unhandled. +Neither
completion callbacks are called, nor dynamic memory allocated for fake
responses is freed+
3. Different structures within _zh_ are dismissed and finally _zh_ is freed
This is illustrated on the screenshot attached to this ticket: you may see that
the next instruction to execute will be _free(zh)_ while
_zh.completions_to_process_ queue is not empty (see the "Variables" tab to the
right).
*Consequently:*
1. At least there is definitely the +memory leak+ in the case (b) -- all the
fake responses put into _zh.completions_to_process_ queue are lost after
_free(zh)_
2. And it looks like a great misbehavior not to call completions on sent
requests in the case (b) while they are called with ZCLOSING in the case (a) --
so, I think it's not "by design" but a +completions leak+
To reproduce the case (b) do the following:
- open ZooKeeper session, connect to a server, receive and process
connected-watch, etc.
- then call for example _zoo_acreate()_ with valid arguments -- it shall return
ZOK
- then, immediately after it returned, call _zookeeper_close()_
- note that completion callback handler for _zoo_acreate()_ will not be called
To reproduce the case (a) do about the same, but call _zookeeper_close()_ from
a watcher or another completion callback handler.
To fix this I propose calling to _process_completions()_ from
_destroy(zhandle_t *zh)_ as it is done in _handle_error(zhandle_t *zh,int rc)_.
