APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Memory leak in cclxotd when vport tracing is on.
  

Local fix

• Stop vport trace using the cclxotm.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All running Wireshark traces for this        *
  *                 product.                                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Memory leak in cclxtod while running    *
  *                      a Wireshark trace.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Memory leak in cclxtod occurs when the trace files are rotated
  and the trace file format is set to ethereal/Wireshark (i.e.,
  when vport_trace_enabled=2 is specified in the configuration
  file or by default when trace is enabled dynamically via the
  cclxotm management application).
  
  If the  configured trace file format is set to text
  (vport_trace_enabled=1) the leak does not occur.
  

Problem conclusion

• cclxotd was not freeing an internal memory block specifically
  used to manage Wireshark format trace files when the trace
  file was closed during trace file rotation.  The fixed cclxotd
  now correctly frees the memory block when the Wireshark
  format trace file is closed.
  

Temporary fix
