Valgrind shows memory leak in Simple_decode/Transcode . on NUC(D54250WYKH) machine

[sumit_j_1]

Hi All,

I  am working with  one of the H264 stream available at http://download.openbricks.org/sample/H264/big_buck_bunny_480p_H264_AAC_25fps_1800K_short.MP4/  and used  Elecard Software to  extract H264 stream.

I used Valgrind  for Decode and Transcode and seeing many occurrences  of Invalid read of size 4/ Invalid write of size 8. Also significant number of bytes are lost.

Valgrind Commad- valgrind  --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all  --log-file=/tmp/ValgrndDecode.txt ...

I have attached Valgrind log for decode and Transcode. Please refer them for more details.

My system config-

$ uname -a

>>Linux NUC 3.10.0-229.1.2.39163.MSSr4.el7.centos.x86_64

CentOs Version 

$ cat /etc/centos-release 

>>CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)

NUC machine-NUC(D54250WYKH) machine

           >> MSDK version --  MediaServerStudioEssentials2015R6

Hi Sumit - Thank you for pointing the memory leaks. We will take a look at them from our end. Were you able to observe similar leaks with sample_decode application as well? (I see the leaks are coming from iHD module and would be common between tutorials ans samples, but I want to be sure).

Hi,

Can  you please share  your  opinion about the invalid memory read/write part as well in the logs?  I mean how you interpret it and  from where it might be coming ?

Do you  think it is a wrong interpretation by memcheck?

Hi Sumit - Apologies for the delayed response. Most of the invalid reads and writes are coming from the iHD driver module which is a closed source driver and other libraries. Although I do not have much to offer immediately, I have escalated this behavior to get some information on this - I will get back to you as soon as I have something to share.

Hi Sravanthi,

I am getting same "Invalid read/write" while running sample decode or sample_decvpp,

As you have mentioned in your earlier posts' that these errors are due to the iHD driver.Same is the issue here.

Kindly suggest how can it be rectified.

Thanks in advance!!
