ble gatt server memory leak when connect/disconnect

Postby YektaD » Tue Aug 22, 2023 1:40 pm

Hello everyone,
I was working on a project and i realised memory leak happens when i connect and disconnect with my phone.
To generate this problem, i created a ble gatt server example. The only change i made is printing free internal ram space.

This is at the end of the main function:
  1. while(1){
  2.  
  3.         ESP_LOGI("app_main", "Free Internal Ram Size: %d\n", heap_caps_get_free_size(MALLOC_CAP_INTERNAL));
  4.     vTaskDelay(1000 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
  5. }
And these are inside "gatts_profile_a_event_handler":
  1. case ESP_GATTS_CONNECT_EVT: {
  2.         ESP_LOGI("ESP_GATTS_CONNECT_EVT", "Free heap1: %d", heap_caps_get_free_size(MALLOC_CAP_INTERNAL));
  3.         esp_ble_conn_update_params_t conn_params = {0};
  4.         ESP_LOGI("ESP_GATTS_CONNECT_EVT", "Free heap2: %d", heap_caps_get_free_size(MALLOC_CAP_INTERNAL));
  5.         memcpy(conn_params.bda, param->connect.remote_bda, sizeof(esp_bd_addr_t));
  6.         ESP_LOGI("ESP_GATTS_CONNECT_EVT", "Free heap3: %d", heap_caps_get_free_size(MALLOC_CAP_INTERNAL));
  7.         /* For the IOS system, please reference the apple official documents about the ble connection parameters restrictions. */
  8.         conn_params.latency = 0;
  9.         conn_params.max_int = 0x20;    // max_int = 0x20*1.25ms = 40ms
  10.         conn_params.min_int = 0x10;    // min_int = 0x10*1.25ms = 20ms
  11.         conn_params.timeout = 400;    // timeout = 400*10ms = 4000ms
  12.         ESP_LOGI("ESP_GATTS_CONNECT_EVT", "Free heap4: %d", heap_caps_get_free_size(MALLOC_CAP_INTERNAL));
  13.         ESP_LOGI(GATTS_TAG, "ESP_GATTS_CONNECT_EVT, conn_id %d, remote %02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:",
  14.                  param->connect.conn_id,
  15.                  param->connect.remote_bda[0], param->connect.remote_bda[1], param->connect.remote_bda[2],
  16.                  param->connect.remote_bda[3], param->connect.remote_bda[4], param->connect.remote_bda[5]);
  17.         gl_profile_tab[PROFILE_A_APP_ID].conn_id = param->connect.conn_id;
  18.         ESP_LOGI("ESP_GATTS_CONNECT_EVT", "Free heap5: %d", heap_caps_get_free_size(MALLOC_CAP_INTERNAL));
  19.         //start sent the update connection parameters to the peer device.
  20.         esp_ble_gap_update_conn_params(&conn_params);
  21.         ESP_LOGI("ESP_GATTS_CONNECT_EVT", "Free heap6: %d", heap_caps_get_free_size(MALLOC_CAP_INTERNAL));
  22.         break;
  23.     }
  24.     case ESP_GATTS_DISCONNECT_EVT:
  25.         ESP_LOGI("ESP_GATTS_DISCONNECT_EVT", "Free heap1: %d", heap_caps_get_free_size(MALLOC_CAP_INTERNAL));
  26.         ESP_LOGI(GATTS_TAG, "ESP_GATTS_DISCONNECT_EVT, disconnect reason 0x%x", param->disconnect.reason);
  27.        ESP_LOGI("ESP_GATTS_DISCONNECT_EVT", "Free heap2: %d", heap_caps_get_free_size(MALLOC_CAP_INTERNAL));
  28.         esp_ble_gap_start_advertising(&adv_params);
  29.         ESP_LOGI("ESP_GATTS_DISCONNECT_EVT", "Free heap3: %d", heap_caps_get_free_size(MALLOC_CAP_INTERNAL));
  30.         break;
And these are the results:

Results are same for ESP IDF 5.0.3 and 4.3.5

Do anyone has any idea?
