IT28248: CLEANING UP OF EDU CAUSES PRIVATE MEMORY TO LEAK (WINDOWS PLATFORM ONLY)

Db2 Version 11.1 Mod 4 Fix Pack 5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This issue is specific to Db2 running under Windows operating
  system only and with version 11.1 mod 4 fix pack 4. When a EDU
  is released from serving an application it will leak a private
  memory block. Depending on the configuration and number of
  connections coming in/out the leak might grow rather quickly.
  
  The type of blocks leaked will be visible in a "db2fodc -memory"
  output file "db2pd.memblocks.private". In this file, the persist
  pool of the private memory will be the main consumer with a
  large count of blocks:
  
  ...
  Total size for persist pool: 7673057192 bytes (PoolID: 86,
  SecondID: 0, PoolAddr: 0x000001504C280498)
  Total size for Private memory set: 7673668136 bytes
  
  All memory consumers in Private memory set:
  PoolAddr          PoolID    PoolName  SecondID
  TotalSize(Bytes)    %Bytes TotalCount %Count  LOC  File
