From: Royce Lv <lvroyce@linux.vnet.ibm.com> File handler leak can be tested with following scripts against real model kimchi server, run "lsof -p $(kimchidpid)" and you can see many file opened without close. import base64 import json import os import unittest import time from functools import partial from utils import request host = None ssl_port = None def setUpModule(): global host, ssl_port host = '127.0.0.1' ssl_port = 8001 class RestTests(unittest.TestCase): def setUp(self): self.request = partial(request, host, ssl_port) def test_leak(self): def fake_auth_header(): headers = {'Accept': 'application/json'} user, pw = ('my_username', 'my_passwd') hdr = "Basic " + base64.b64encode("%s:%s" % (user, pw)) headers['AUTHORIZATION'] = hdr return headers def do_thousands(url): for i in range(1000): self.request(url, headers=fake_auth_header()) print "called %i times" % i url = "https://%s:%s/toys" % \ (host, ssl_port) do_thousands(url) Royce Lv (7): Fix md5 file handler leak Fix file handler leak for uptime file Close json schema file after loading close fh after iso scanning Fix leak in check_url_path Work around eventfd leak using multiprocessing Fix file handler leak in netinfo.py src/kimchi/auth.py | 65 +++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- src/kimchi/isoinfo.py | 5 ++-- src/kimchi/model/debugreports.py | 5 ++-- src/kimchi/model/host.py | 5 ++-- src/kimchi/netinfo.py | 16 ++++++---- src/kimchi/root.py | 4 +-- src/kimchi/utils.py | 4 ++- 7 files changed, 61 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) -- 1.9.3
