syslog-ng has still memory leaks, even if the fix of LIN4-31094 is applied. The fix of LIN4-31094 brings backports of 3.4.7. there are still a few leaks open.
Running the testcase causes a leak here : see the variation of VmSize and VmData with the ongoing process :
starts with :
-bash-3.2$ cat project_sysl/export/dist/root/syslog_mem.stat
2014-03-15 22:21 VmSize: 64040 kB VmData: 1388 kB
2014-03-15 22:22 VmSize: 64832 kB VmData: 2180 kB
2014-03-15 22:23 VmSize: 66956 kB VmData: 2148 kB
2014-03-15 22:24 VmSize: 64948 kB VmData: 2264 kB
2014-03-15 22:25 VmSize: 67072 kB VmData: 2264 kB
2014-03-15 22:26 VmSize: 64908 kB VmData: 2256 kB
2014-03-15 22:27 VmSize: 64908 kB VmData: 2256 kB
2014-03-15 22:28 VmSize: 67064 kB VmData: 2256 kB
and after a few hours:
2014-03-16 05:46 VmSize: 71396 kB VmData: 8744 kB
2014-03-16 05:47 VmSize: 71384 kB VmData: 8732 kB
2014-03-16 05:48 VmSize: 71380 kB VmData: 8728 kB

extract the attached syslog-ng layer 140228_dist_syslog_4.3.tar.bz2 (this contains the latest fixes from syslog-ng as of LIN4-31094
create project :
$ configure --enable-rootfs=glibc_cgl --enable-kernel=cgl --enable-board=common_pc_64 --enable-jobs=4 --enable-parallel-pkgbuilds=4 --with-layer=../../layers/wrl_43_syslog-ng-342_layer/ --with-ldat-cache-dir=../ldat_cache_dir
make build-all
cd export/dist ;
extract the testcase scripts and config files into export/dist (testcase.tar.bz2)
make start-target
-> crontab -e
-> start logrotate every minute (not sure if that is relevant though)
-> service syslog-ng start
-> cd /root
-> ./fifo_loggen_full.sh &
-> ./syslog_mem.sh &
-> this will dump the syslog_mem.stat attached.
