With libssl1.11 it now just returns a success/ error code and writes the number of bytes written to |tmpwrit|. The SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS code was still looking at the return code for the number of bytes written rather than |tmpwrit|. This has the effect that the buffers are not released when they are supposed to be. Thus such software as nginx currenty use significantly more memory compared to libssl1.0. [Test Case] Use 'top' to measure the memory usage by nginx with ssl configured. Example: No memory overuse: ii libssl1.1:amd64 1.1.0g-2ubuntu4 amd64 Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - shared libraries https://launchpadlibrarian.net/442818951/1.1.0g.png 2,5x memory overuse: ii libssl1.1:amd64 1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.4 amd64 Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - shared libraries https://launchpadlibrarian.net/442819146/1.1.1.png [Regression Potential] Low. This particular fix is tiny (https://git.openssl.org/?p=openssl.git;a=commitdiff;h=f2bb79a) and has been released and used in a couple of upstream openssl versions already without issue. [Other Info] The fix has been tested by nginx team and it solved the memory overuse issue.
