Goroutine leak in RegisterView causes memory exhaustion in long-running systems #1318
Description
The RegisterView launches a goroutine that never terminates if public parameters are unavailable or context is cancelled, causing memory leaks in production.
for {
pp := tms.PublicParametersManager().PublicParameters()
if pp == nil {
logger.Debugf("public parameters not yet available, wait...")
time.Sleep(500 * time.Millisecond)
continue
}
logger.Debugf("public parameters available, set certification service...")
if err := r.startCertificationService(context, tms, pp); err != nil {
logger.Errorf("failed to start certification service [%s]", err)
}
break
}
}()Problems:
- No timeout - runs forever if parameters never arrive
- No context cancellation check - ignores
context.Context().Done() - No cleanup mechanism - cannot be stopped once started
