[erlang-questions] Memory Leak

[yikang zhuo]

"I Just Keep on Bleeding and I Won't Die "   very humorous...

i follow your post the see what happend in my erlang node ,  and the binary
allocted is also my biggest problem, it almost have 5G，and the usage rate
is very low

rp(recon_alloc:fragmentation(current)).

{mbcs_carriers_size,1438941360
{mbcs_carriers_size,908361904
{mbcs_carriers_size,928284848
{mbcs_carriers_size,817135792
{mbcs_carriers_size,556302512
{mbcs_carriers_size,479494320
{mbcs_carriers_size,399278256
{mbcs_carriers_size,271876272
{mbcs_carriers_size,32944

sum ->  5 799 708 208

{mbcs_usage,0.09427699263575272},
{mbcs_usage,0.010110173004349157},
{mbcs_usage,0.05721490350125805},
{mbcs_usage,0.03553723173589733},
{mbcs_usage,0.0037855806051078915},
{mbcs_usage,0.002756687503618395},
{mbcs_usage,0.0015088825673492223},
{mbcs_usage,0.0015768937717374615},
{mbcs_usage,0.003399708596406022},


but it look like a bug more than alloctor fragment , the default alloctor
strage is {as,aoffcbf}]},   does aoffcbf can as bad as such low usage...
my erlang is erts6.4 r17.5 ,

this post describle a memory leak about r17.3

https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/maint/erts/emulator/internal_doc/CarrierMigration.md#searching-the-pool

but i use r17.5.



rp(erlang:system_info({allocator,binary_alloc})).
[{instance,0,
           [{versions,"0.9","3.0"},
           {options,[{e,true},
                      {t,true},
                      {ramv,false},
                      {sbct,524288},
                      {asbcst,4145152},
                      {rsbcst,20},
                      {rsbcmt,80},
                      {rmbcmt,50},
                      {mmbcs,32768},
                      {mmmbc,18446744073709551615},
                      {mmsbc,256},
                      {lmbcs,5242880},
                      {smbcs,262144},
                      {mbcgs,10},
                      {acul,0},
                      {as,aoffcbf}]},
