[Mono-list] Async sockets and memory leaks in BeginSend

[Gabriel Ibanez]

Hi!

May be this is a bit ingeniuos, but have you tried to use some dispose() or using (...) to that object ?

Cheers

Subject: [Mono-list] Async sockets and memory leaks in BeginSend

I am developing server with mono using async socket model. Currently it's
about 500 simultaneously working clients with 20-100 operations per seconds.
The code should send messages accordingly theirs creation time, so I use
such pattern:

Send()
{
    //Dequeue message from queue. Messages placed in the queue accordingly
theirs creation time
    SendStateObject state=new SendStateObject();
    state.buffer=Dequeue();
    state.socket=client;

    //some checks in the code were removed, this function is called only
when no other send callbacks were ran
    client.BeginSend(state.buffer, 0, state.buffer.Length, SocketFlags.None,
new AsyncCallback(SendCallback), state);

}

private void SendCallback(IAsyncResult ar)
{
    SendStateObject sendState = (SendStateObject)ar.AsyncState;
    Socket client = sendState.workSocket;

    try
    {
          client.EndSend(ar);
    }
    catch() /*Some exceptions handling */
    {}
    finally
    {
          sendState.buffer=null;
          sendState.workSocket=null;
    }

    if (SomeItemsInQueue()) Send();

}

And this code produces huge memory leaks under high load. Profiler says,
that there are millions of AsyncCallback objects and
System.Net.Sockets.SocketAsyncResult objects.

I think, I could minimize number of AsyncCallback objects by creating it
only one time in constructor and passing it to BeginSend (I'll check it
later), but what to do with SocketAsyncResult (and byte buffers which it
contains in)?
I don't create this object, it's created inside of BeginSend and in most
cases it is not claimed by garbage collector.

Maybe I use wrong pattern and must remove calling Send() from the end line
of callback, but I don't understand, why these objects could not be freed by
GC...
