feat(test): Track memory leak (or) memory corruption issues
What would you like to be added: It will help to fix memory issues/corruption in cstor-istgt.
Why is this needed: Add a test case to track memory leak (or) corruption using Valgrind tool
Describe the solution you'd like: [A clear and concise description of what you want to happen]
Environment:
- OpenEBS version:

kubectl version
): - Kubernetes installer & version:

- OS (e.g. from
/etc/os-release

Explored Valgrind tool to detect memory leak/corruption in istgt
- It is able to give stats about the memory only once the istgt process is killed/died.
- It doesn't support attaching the currently running process to it(By its design).
- If will kill the Valgrind process then it will not give any stats about memory usage.
Ex: We need to launch
istgt
process asValgrind ./istgt
to get memory stats but if we kill that process then it is not giving any stats about the memory(since Valgrind itself dies so no one is there to print output). ============ Basically, to overcome the above issue we need to have istgtcontrol command to kill istgt process alone and need to check whether Valgrind is able to give stats.
