Subject: Memory leaks in conntrack
Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2017 16:20:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAM_iQpWvO3L1JOrCMvAvqduWH5pt_9-=GEx+eOFQyOt5Z5prrA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

While testing my TC filter patches (so not related to conntrack), the
following memory leaks are shown up:


unreferenced object 0xffff9b19ba551228 (size 128):
  comm "chronyd", pid 338, jiffies 4294910829 (age 53.188s)

This seems new because I never see this before.

I don't touch chronyd in my VM, so I have no idea why it sends out UDP
packets, my guess is it is some periodical packet.

I don't think I use conntrack either, since /proc/net/ip_conntrack
does not exist.

Here are some related config of my kernel:

$ grep CONNTRACK .config
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_SECMARK=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_ZONES=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_PROCFS=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_EVENTS=y
# CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_TIMEOUT is not set
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_TIMESTAMP=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_AMANDA=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_FTP=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_H323=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_IRC=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_BROADCAST=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_NETBIOS_NS=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_SNMP=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_PPTP=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_SANE=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_SIP=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_TFTP=y
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_CONNTRACK=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_IPV4=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_IPV6=y

Please let me know if you need any other information.

Thanks.
