[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-10991) Memory leak when deployment is redeployed multiple times

Memory leak when deployment is redeployed multiple times -------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-10991 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-10991 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: MP OpenTracing Affects Versions: 14.0.0.Beta2 Reporter: Jan Stourac Assignee: Juraci Paixão Kröhling Priority: Critical Attachments: memoryLeaks.war, problematic-wf-build-heap-diff-start-end-org-filter.png, problematic-wf-build-heap-diff-start-end.png, sane-wf-build-heap-diff-start-end-org-filter.png, sane-wf-build-heap-diff-start-end.png It looks like redeploying attached deployment [^memoryLeaks.war] multiple times (our automated test does it 100 times), there seems to be some memory leak in the WildFly. Using git bisect, the commit that started to fail is [651dc8a2f0d4ccad6a35f7b1d28626b43ebb2a5d in WildFly repository|https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/commits/651dc8a2f0d4ccad6a3...]. That is why I selected MP OpenTracing component for this issue. Actual testing deployment is very simple and contains just some jsp file with some EJB classes that are used to call GC and check current heap usage. Brief description of the test: # attached deployment is deployed # System.gc() is called via EJB call # it checks initial heap usage at the beginning of the test via EJB call that checks all instances of ManagementFactory.getMemoryPoolMXBeans() # deployment is redeployed 100 times # calls System.gc() via EJP call again and checks heap usage again via EJB call and compares the results I tried to check manually via [visualVM|https://visualvm.github.io/] tool. You can create a heapdump at the beginning of the test and at the end of the test. Then compare them easily and check the differences. Using a filter I can see quite a huge increase of instances of the {{org.jboss.modules.*}} classes. However, biggest memory footprint is huge increase of the instances of the {{java.util.HashMap$Node}}, {{char[]}}, {{java.util.HashMap$Node[]}} and few others. I don't see such huge increase of the instances of these classes when I use older build of WildFly prior to the problematic commit. To be honest I don't see direct link with the problematic commit I linked before. As the heapdumps are too big to be attached here, I am attaching some screenshots.
