Thank you for your feedback, i will look into that .. any suggestions on what technique I can use to find memory leaks, invalid accesses, etc etc .... ? thanks!!! ________________________________ From: Stephen Hemminger Sent: Friday, June 17, 2022 4:17 PM To: David Marchand Cc: Juan Pablo L. ; users@dpdk.org ; Burakov, Anatoly ; Dmitry Kozlyuk ; dev ; ci@dpdk.org Subject: Re: dpdk address sanitizer On Fri, 17 Jun 2022 07:45:33 +0200 David Marchand wrote: > Hello, > > On Fri, Jun 17, 2022 at 6:08 AM Juan Pablo L. > wrote: > > > > Hello, I am new to dpdk ... i would like to trace memory usage and detect memory leaks, valgrind as well as address sanitizer (gcc) report some memory loss at application end. For the life of me, i cannot figure it out ... i just write a simple program that has the rte_eal_init + rte_eal_cleanup and i get the following error (also tried helloworld from examples, with same results): > > > > ==3399==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: stack-buffer-overflow on address 0x7f6ca3efb480 at pc 0x7f6ca7162b61 bp 0x7f6ca3efb450 sp 0x7f6ca3efac00 > > WRITE of size 24 at 0x7f6ca3efb480 thread T-1 > > #0 0x7f6ca7162b60 in __interceptor_sigaltstack.part.0 (/lib64/libasan.so.8+0x61b60) > > #1 0x7f6ca71d9337 in __sanitizer::UnsetAlternateSignalStack() (/lib64/libasan.so.8+0xd8337) > > #2 0x7f6ca71c90f4 in __asan::AsanThread::Destroy() (/lib64/libasan.so.8+0xc80f4) > > #3 0x7f6ca679b000 in __GI___nptl_deallocate_tsd (/lib64/libc.so.6+0x8a000) > > #4 0x7f6ca679dc9d in start_thread (/lib64/libc.so.6+0x8cc9d) > > #5 0x7f6ca68235df in __GI___clone3 (/lib64/libc.so.6+0x1125df) > > > > Address 0x7f6ca3efb480 is a wild pointer inside of access range of size 0x000000000018. > > SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: stack-buffer-overflow (/lib64/libasan.so.8+0x61b60) in __interceptor_sigaltstack.part.0 > > Shadow bytes around the buggy address: > > 0x0fee147d7640: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 f1 f1 f1 f1 00 00 00 00 > > 0x0fee147d7650: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 06 f2 f2 f2 f2 00 00 > > 0x0fee147d7660: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 > > 0x0fee147d7670: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 > > 0x0fee147d7680: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 f3 f3 f3 f3 > > =>0x0fee147d7690:[f3]f3 f3 f3 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 > > 0x0fee147d76a0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 > > 0x0fee147d76b0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 > > 0x0fee147d76c0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 > > 0x0fee147d76d0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 > > 0x0fee147d76e0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 > > Shadow byte legend (one shadow byte represents 8 application bytes): > > Addressable: 00 > > Partially addressable: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 > > Heap left redzone: fa > > Freed heap region: fd > > Stack left redzone: f1 > > Stack mid redzone: f2 > > Stack right redzone: f3 > > Stack after return: f5 > > Stack use after scope: f8 > > Global redzone: f9 > > Global init order: f6 > > Poisoned by user: f7 > > Container overflow: fc > > Array cookie: ac > > Intra object redzone: bb > > ASan internal: fe > > Left alloca redzone: ca > > Right alloca redzone: cb > > ==3399==ABORTING > > > > I am not sure what I m doing wrong but it is very frustrating. On top of that, I try other scenarios and see if I can just "ignore" that and still detect other memory leaks but it does not work. I get memory from rte_malloc and don't free it and I still get the above report only, I do not get any report from the memory I leaked intentionally ... no difference what so ever .... I tried the same with the helloworld example and I get the same results .... > > I experienced the same issue recently on Fedora 36. > I did not investigate. > > I think I waived this warning, by setting > ASAN_OPTIONS="use_sigaltstack=0" in the environment. > HTH. > Looks like the alternate signal stack allocated inside address sanitizer is not big enough.
