New submission from EricLin <linxiaoj...@huawei.com>:
First, I would like to clarify that this is a Python 2.7.5 issue. I know
python2 is no longer maintained, but I still wish to look for some help here.
We have observed a long running Python 2.7.5 process leaking memory. I tried to
inject some code into the process using gdb, to see what's happening inside.
The gdb command looks like:
gdb -p $pid -batch -eval-command='call PyGILState_Ensure()' -eval-command='call
PyRun_SimpleString("exec(open(\"/path/to/code\").read())")' -eval-command='call
PyGILState_Release($1)'
I printed gc.get_objects() information into a file and took 2 snapshots, but
failed to find obvious object size increase. But after calling gc.collect() in
the injected code, a dramatic memory decrease is observed. So I tried to print
the return value following:
gc.isenabled()
gc.get_count()
gc.get_threshold()
which gives me:
False
(56107, 0, 0)
(700, 10, 10)
This obviously shows that gc is disabled, but I'm sure non of our code does it
explicitly. And the same code is running on hundreds of servers but only one
has this problem.
Does anyone have any idea what might be the cause, or what to check to find the
root cause?
