OK, and Perl 5.16.3 from CentOS 7?  (4:5.16.3-294.el7_6 RPM)

It looks like there's a Perl reference leak (cycle) of some
sort holding on to FDs, since you have lots of input files and
pipes, yet only one established IPv4 connection.  And the inodes
encoded into the filenames don't point to the connected socket,
even....

However, I'm not able to reproduce it on my CentOS 7 VM which
has nginx 1.12.2.  I don't think nginx is a factor in this
since public-inbox-httpd is clearly not holding TCP sockets
open, even.

Not at all familiar with SELinux, but I'm just using the
defaults CentOS comes with and running both nginx +
public-inbox-httpd as a regular user.

That "if (0..." GitHTTPBackend patch definitely isn't needed
for testing anymore and only makes FD exhaustion happen sooner.

If there's a reference leak somewhere, this could also be part
of the high memory use you showed us a few months ago.  Dunno
if you had many FDs back then.

I could see about adding explicit close() calls in a few
places, but that would make a corresponding memory leak
harder-to-notice, even.

I pushed out two patches to the "unlink" branch which may be
able to reproduce the issue on your end (I see nothing out of
the ordinary on my slow CentOS 7 VM or Debian machines/VMs)

* [PATCH] t/httpd-corner: check for leaking FDs and pipes
* [RFC] t/git-http-backend: add MANY_CLONE test

# no pipes should be present in -httpd with -W0
prove -lv t/httpd-corner.t

# unrelated note: there's 4 pipes from -W1 (the default),
# but I think 2 can be closed, actually...
GIANT_GIT_DIR=/path/to/git.git MANY_CLONE=1 prove -lv t/git-http-backend.t

If those updated test cases can't reproduce the problem,
can you reproduce this on erol or any other machines?
perhaps with a different Perl?

Thanks.

-W0 (no workers) should not create any pipes on its own,
and we shouldn't have any deleted FDs if no clients are
connected.

This can find if leaks which may be triggered by PublicInbox::HTTP
(and not Qspawn or GitHTTPBackend).
