Hi,
When a large search is done and the user clicks the link to display
the ticket then apache starts using a lot more memory.
This is due to a memory ‘leak’ in share/html/Ticket/Display.html:
lines 200-206:
if (defined $session{‘tickets’} and ($ARGS{‘Query’} or
$session{‘CurrentSearchHash’}->{‘Query’})) {
my $item_map = $session{‘tickets’}->ItemMap;
$link_rel{first} = “Ticket/Display.html?id=” . $item_map->{first}
if $item_map->{$TicketObj->Id}{prev};
$link_rel{prev} = “Ticket/Display.html?id=” .
$item_map->{$TicketObj->Id}{prev} if $item_map->{$TicketObj->Id}{prev};
$link_rel{next} = “Ticket/Display.html?id=” .
$item_map->{$TicketObj->Id}{next} if $item_map->{$TicketObj->Id}{next};
$link_rel{last} = “Ticket/Display.html?id=” . $item_map->{last}
if $item_map->{$TicketObj->Id}{next};
}
This code will execute the query in $session{‘tickets’} and store the
results of the search in $session{‘tickets’}->…
Meaning: the session object now contains the query + the results of
the search. Which obviously results in a lot higher memory usage when
the search is large.
(When I run a search which returns 13000 tickets apache jumps from
40/60 mb of memory to 200mb of memory.
Since it is in the session it also means every later request from the
same session will result in another process using 200mb of memory.)
I modified the code a bit and added Dumper($session{tickets});
I then did a search for 2 tickets. (truncated Dumper output at the end).
A (truncated) diff from the dumper output:
(- is before, + is after)

# [snipped] -

bless( { -

‘_SB_Record_Primary_RecordCache_key’ => ‘id=39447’,
-

'table' => 'Tickets', -
'values' => { -
# [snipped] -
}, -
'fetched' => { -
# [snipped] -
}, 'RT::Ticket' ) -
]
This means that after the display it contains extra data in items,
item_map and dbix_sb_unique_cache.
Clearing items is simple and can be done by adding:
$session{‘tickets’}->PrepForSerialization();
in the code (which is what Search/Results.html calls).
But that still leaves item_map and dbix_sb_unique_cache in the session.
Any advice on clearing those?
Best regards,
Bram
