DB2 - Problem description

Problem IT08289 Status: Closed

PRIVATE MEMORY LEAK DUE TO NATIVE ENCRYPTION.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2
Problem description:
The memory consumption on db2sysc process keeps growing only 
when native encryption is enabled. 
For example, the private segments (Esid 10,11,12.. in svmon) 
keep growing in AIX systems, and [anon] blocks in pmap keep 
increasing in Linux systems. 
 
However, the DB2 memory statistics shows no leak sign in the 
PRIVATE set, db2pd -dbptnmem and db2pd -memblock shows stable 
memory stats on private memory usage. 
 
The malloc debug in AIX shows one of major leak is observed in 
the following code path.
