When one iscsi device logs in and logs out with the "multipath -r"
executed at the same time, memory leak happens in multipathd
process.
The reason is following. When "multipath -r" is executed, the path
will be free in configure function. Before path_discovery executed,
iscsi device logs out. Then path_discovery will not find any path and
there is no path in the gvecs->pathvec. When map_discovery function
is executed, disassemble_map function will be called. Because
gvecs->pathvec->slot is empty and is_deamon is 1, a path will be
allocated and is not stored in gvecs->pathvec but store in
mpp->pg. But when the mpp is removed and freed by remove_map
function, the path will not be free and can't be find anymore.
The procedure details given as follows,
1."multipath -r" is executed
main
->child
->reconfigure
->configure
->path_discovery //after iscsi logout
->map_discovery
->update_multipath_table
->disassemble_map
->alloc_path
2.then "multipath -r" is executed again
main
main
->child
->reconfigure
->remove_maps_and_stop_waiters
->remove_maps
Here, we delete checking is_deamon. Because whether the process is a
daemon process or not, we think the path should be add to gvecs->pathvec.
