GPIO library doesn't free GPIO file descriptor. File descriptor leak. #145
Description
Hello, I found such issue.
I got example of LED and run it.
LED are blink for about minute and that's all.
I run strace and found such error:
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 100000}) = 0 (Timeout)
open("/sys/class/leds/beaglebone:green:usr0/brightness", O_WRONLY) = 1023
open("/sys/class/leds/beaglebone:green:usr0/brightness", O_WRONLY) = -1 EMFILE (Too many open files)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 100000}) = 0 (Timeout)
open("/sys/class/leds/beaglebone:green:usr1/brightness", O_WRONLY) = -1 EMFILE (Too many open files)
open("/sys/class/leds/beaglebone:green:mmc0/brightness", O_WRONLY) = -1 EMFILE (Too many open files)
- Platform/operating system (i.e. Raspberry Pi with Raspbian operating system,
Windows 32-bit, Windows 64-bit, Mac OSX 64-bit, etc.):
platform.platform()
'Linux-3.8.13-bone79-armv7l-with-debian-7.11'
platform.linux_distribution()
('debian', '7.11', '')
- Python version (run
python -versionorpython3 -version):
platform.python_version()
'2.7.3'
- Error message you are receiving, including any Python exception traces:
Library doesn't emit any messages. I did strace.
Here strace logs:

and so on
- List the steps to reproduce the problem below (if possible attach code or commands
to run):
On BeagleBone with debian 7 run as root the "On-Board LEDs" example with sleep(0.1) and
wait several minutes. Then you will see that LEDs stop blinking, and program doesn't emit any error.
To get error logs:
Code:
# beaglebone-test.py
import Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO as GPIO
import time
if __name__=="__main__":
for i in range(4):
GPIO.setup("USR%d" % i, GPIO.OUT)
while True:
for i in range(4):
GPIO.output("USR%d" % i, GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(0.1)
for i in range(4):
GPIO.output("USR%d" % i, GPIO.LOW)
time.sleep(0.1)
Run script:
strace -f python programs/beaglebone-test.py
