          Components: Virtual Router
    Affects Versions: 4.5.0
            Reporter: Sheng Yang

             Fix For: 4.5.0


Apache 2.2.22-13+deb7u1(latest debian stable version) have the issue that may result in memory leak.

Logrotate would use apache2 reload to reload the service after log rotated. But the memory used by apache2 increased after each reload, which can be a problem for limited memory VR.

Here is how I measure the memory:
root@r-4-VM:~# for i in `ps -eo comm,pid|awk '$1=="apache2"
{ print $2 }'`; do pmap $i|tail -n 1; done
total 85680K
total 84916K
total 309108K
total 309108K
root@r-4-VM:~# i=0; while [ $i -lt 356 ] ; do /etc/init.d/apache2 reload 2>1 > /dev/null; sleep 1; i=$(($i+1)); done
root@r-4-VM:~# for i in `ps -eo comm,pid|awk '$1=="apache2" { print $2 }
'`; do pmap $i|tail -n 1; done
total 120552K
total 344576K
total 344576K
total 121148K
