DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC80105 Status: Closed

MEMORY LEAK HAPPENS ON HADR PRIMARY WHEN HADR IS IN REMOTE CATCHUP STATE

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
When HADR primary is in remote catchup state, 64 bytes memory 
leak happens each time when db2lfr opens a log file to send to 
standby. This could be very serious for HADR with superasync 
mode, because HADR is always in remote catchup state with 
superasync mode. When hitting this problem, dbheap can increase 
very quickly. For example, from output of "db2pd -memb sort 2", 
we can see many blocks as follows are left there and increase 
quickly.
