When one of the leaking processes are killed, the upper limit of memory a single leaking process can occupy increases. After killing krunner twice and ksystemstats once (when they reached 4GiB), plasmashell now occupies 8GiB of memory This is fixed with https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/solid/-/merge_requests/190 (In reply to Nicolas Fella from comment #2) > This is fixed with > https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/solid/-/merge_requests/190 Wonderful, thanks! Will release 6.9.0 of Solid include this fix? |
Created attachment 176067 [details] archive of heaptrack memory logs for components. Each file can be extracted and analyzed with heaptrack-gui SUMMARY Memory usage of mentioned processes increase linearly, at identical rates, reaching a roof of 4GiB after 4-5 hours. On my system, this leads to OOM, and me having to manually kill e.g. krunner. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Boot the system 2. Observe the gradually increased memory usage 3. Analyze the processes with `heaptrack` OBSERVED RESULT Some KDE components leak memory. A common trait among the processes analyzed, shows that the function `__GI__strdup` in `libc.so.6` of `fstabHandling` of `libKFSolid.6.so` ; is responsible for 99% of the memory usage. EXPECTED RESULT Stable memory usage of KDE components when not being used.
