GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 516351
File descriptor leaks
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:03:44 UTC
Forwarding this from a downstream bug report: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432105 Description of problem: Every time my machine loose the connection with the mail server for some reason (vpn drops, or even clock skew when trying to auth with GSSAPI and thus auth fails) evolution leaks about 12 filesdescriptors. ls in /proc/<num>/fd reveals they are all pipes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution 2.12.3 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cause a forced disconnection through a network error Actual results: App leaks descriptors until they finish and app craps out. Expected results: No descriptors leaks, app should close unused descriptors.
I'm guessing this is Camel, and the pipes are coming from EMsgPorts.
Bumping version to a stable release.
I am not sure if this bug has been fixed in bug 655272
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-data-server/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
