Created attachment 167654 [details] EDID data SUMMARY Since the upgrade to 6.0 I experienced a spin up of my CPU fans every time the screen engages. I have now had time to investigate this a bit by logging into the system via SSH and running top/htop. When I locked the screen, kwin_x11 jumped from ~5% CPU to ~70% and Xorg from ~3% to ~50%. ksmserver also moved into the top three processes. I tried again and attached gdb to the running process, interrupting it now and then. At the beginning (let's say first 1-2 minutes) the backtrace often included the KWin::Edid constructor, mostly in some memory allocation calls. Later on I only manages to interrupt it while it was in some XCB call. I can also not reproduce on a second system with relatively similar software state (both KDE Neon with the same updates installed). Two potentially related hardware differences are GPU and number of monitors. Workstation (which runs into the CPU load issue): AMD Radeon RX 550 / 550 Series, 3 monitors Laptop (which does not have the issue): Intel UHD Graphics 620, only internal monitor STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. lock screen 2. observe CPU load via remote connection OBSERVED RESULT kwin_x11 and Xorg (though one might "drag along" the other) jump in CPU load to about 10 times their usual load EXPECTED RESULT CPU load staying atthe same as the unlocked system. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon 6.0.2 (?) (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AMD Radeon RX 550 / 550 Series, 3 monitors (all 1920x1080, one is from a different vendor). Attaching output of get-edid (and parsed via parse-edid)
Can confirm I observe the same behaviour, both kwin_x11 and Xorg together using 100% CPU. This is with kwin 6.0.2-3 on manjaro. Interestingly, when I move the mouse and the screen goes from black to background image, CPU usage goes back to normal. Also interesting is that I use a LG TV as display, not a monitor, so there is no "proper" display suspend, but rather the TV shows a no-signal background picture for a while.
Hotspot profiling data pointing to where these processes are using all those cpu cycles would be extremely helpful.

I did some profiling on kwin_x11 with debuginfod data and this is the gist of it.

Notice that ksmserver is also using quite a bit of CPU, maybe they are sending each other events in an infinite loop? Perf for ksmserver is here: https://pub-32f46577ac8f4e2b84ba6635b1d55699.r2.dev/ksmserver.perf

I can confirm that I also see an increased CPU use of ksmserver when the screen is locked. But maybe only twice as much as when the session is active, not 10 times as much I've seen for KWin
I've the same issue on plasma 6.0.3 with X11 and two monitors on NVIDIA.
Same. Plasma 6.0.3-1 with X11. Laptop with x1 external monitor and laptop lid closed.
Same here. plasmashell --version 6.0.3. Open suse tumbleweed with X11. I disabled auto screen lock to protect my hardware.
Unfortunately, same here. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Plasma 6.0.3, KWin, X11.

> Can you check if the problem also happens when the external monitor is not plugged in? I happens for me without the external monitor being plugged in, but only on my laptop (Intel graphics card). On my desktop (NVIDIA card) it does not seem to happen. Let me know if there's any more info I can collect.

Some more tests: - Happens with or without the external monitor plugged in - Happens always when locked - either blank screen when locked for a while; or lock screen (even if visible for several minutes without unlocking and not allowing screen to go black) - Interesting: if while still locked I go to console (Ctrl+Alt+Fx) it stops - no login required, just change to console.
Today's Neon package updates seem to have fixed the issue for me. It still reports the same Plasma version as before (6.0.3), but I think the Qt library was updated.

Great find, this does indeed sound like the same problem. I can also confirm the observation that the CPU load returns to normal when switching to a Linux virtual console.
Interesting observation on that other ticket which I can confirm on my system: if I restart kwin_x11 (by running kwin_x11 --replace) it does no longer show the observed CPU load behavior when locking the screen
*** Bug 484606 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Does this still happen if you 1. kill kwin_x11 before locking the screen? 2. or disable KScreen2 in the background services settings page?

(In reply to Kevin Krammer from comment #24) > Disabling KScreen2 also works to avoid the issue. Did you disable the service, log out and log in? Because I stopped the KScreen2 service (without a new login), and that was not sufficient to fix the issue for me.

Locking that session did not cause the CPU load to go up (verified by being logged in via SSH from a second computer) But in that session the order of monitors was not as expected, so I am back to having KScreen2 enabled and killing kwin_x11 once after login
KScreen being stopped preventing this isn't too surprising, as it can trigger output changes and that seems to be what's using so much CPU, but > or call it manually with --replace then the CPU load does no longer exceed normal levels very much is. I don't really have an explanation for that one

I don't really have an explanation for that one If only "kwin_x11 --replace" had worked my guess would have been a difference in environment due to being launched from an interactive shell rather than some session manager. But since killing it and having it restarted (by systemd?) also works as a "solution" that's probably not it. Could it be the order in which different components are started? Like trying to detect a D-Bus service, but failing, and falling back to some alternative code path, while succeeding when being restarted?
(In reply to Kevin Krammer from comment #24) > Disabling KScreen2 also works to avoid the issue. Confirmed.
Same issue here with me with plasma 6.0.4 on Fedora 40. Disabling KScreen2 did the trick for me as well. Before somebody stat commenting that F40 KDE cannot run on X - actually this is not the truth. F40 KDE is capable of running "the hidden" X11 session option via manually installing package plasma-workspace-x11 and sddm-x11. These packages are part of the official repos.
I have the same issue on Manjaro, high CPU usage on locked screen after whole system upgrade that includes plasma-desktop 6.0.4-1 (In reply to Kevin Krammer from comment #24) > > When I kill kwin_x11 or call it manually with --replace then the CPU load That solution eliminated high CPU usage for me. (In reply to Kevin Krammer from comment #24) > Disabling KScreen2 also works to avoid the issue. This didn't helped.
The high CPU usage in kwin_x11 is caused by it repeatedly receiving an XCB_CONFIGURE_NOTIFY message here: https://github.com/qt/qtbase/blob/4656fabd8a6ff46f786cb48c220511ebe43ea300/src/plugins/platforms/xcb/qxcbconnection.cpp#L586 This causes a call initializeScreens() which causes EDID data to be reloaded from "/usr/share/hwdata/pnp.ids" which consumes most of the CPU cycles, but this is clearly not the root cause of the loop. I noticed that on my system, the three processes using most CPU are: kwin_x11 (81.1%), Xorg (48.5%), ksmserver (18.3%). Suspending any of these three processes (using `kill -STOP`) causes CPU usage to drop to 0% immediately. Resuming the process (using `kill -CONT`) causes the problem to return. Interestingly, there are a bunch of other processes that are using smaller amounts of CPU (1%-4%), all related to KDE: plasmashell, kscreenlocker_greet, kactivitymanagerd, kded6, org_kde_powerdevil, ... Suspending any of these does NOT fix the high CPU usage, so they are not involved in the loop. However, suspending any of the top 3 DOES stop the high CPU usage of those other processes. This suggests that the cycle is not a one-to-one communication, but a message that is being broadcast to all KDE processes (by Xorg?). Most simply ignore it (hence the low but nonzero CPU usage) while only kwin_x11 and ksmserver do something significant with it, and at least one of these processes triggers another event to be sent.
Reproduced Hardware: ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402RJ CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS GPU 1: AMD Radeon RX 6700S GPU 2: AMD Radeon 680M Memory: 10.53 GiB / 38.41 GiB (27%) Dual monitor: Display (TL140ADXP01): 2560x1600 @ 120Hz * Display (DELL U2720Q): 3840x2160 @ 60Hz DE: KDE Plasma 6.0.5 WM: KWin (X11) Qt Version: 6.6.2 In my same hardware and software environment. the only difference is: After unplugging the external monitor (DP over Type-C Cable), locking the screen does not cause 100% CPU usage. Only when the second screen (DELL U2720Q here) is connected, the locking screen causes 100% CPU usage.
After upgrade to Plasma 6.1 the behavior is still present but not as bad as before. Xorg still goes up to ~50% of one CPU, but kwin_x11 only to 30% and ksmserver only to 15%
I've been able to reliably reproduce this so far by the following: STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Lock the screen 2. Turn off the monitor directly via the power button (for me it's the monitor OSD with a power action) 3. Turn the monitor back on From this point forward, while the screen is locked there will be high CPU load. For me, restarting "kwin_x11" via systemd ("systemctl --user restart plasma-kwin_x11.service") temporarily fixes the issue until the screen ends up turned off again.

same here on plasma 6.1.2 on X11
(In reply to Kai Krakow from comment #36) > Is this caused by the blur effects of plasma and konsole? It may have been resolved, at least partially, by https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/commit/1795a8bb20fe09f9939ca3e82d76791f5741e467. It mentions KDE here: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/228410/en-us/ I'm using the 555 driver, and since the update, high CPU usage /while/ using the system has gone down.
Hi, Actual Results: kscreenlocker_greet consumes 80-90% CPU. System performance degrades. Increased power consumption and fan activity. Logs and Diagnostics: ps aux --sort=-%cpu | head -10 shows kscreenlocker_greet at the top with high CPU usage, while the screen is locked. Command: top -b -i Output: 1857 root 20 0 24.5g 278128 147164 R 80.1 0.6 119:01.30 Xorg (80.1% cpu usage) System Information: OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Host: Lenovo ThinkPad T15g Gen 1 Kernel: 6.9.9-arch1-1 Shell: fish 3.7.1 Resolution: 2560x1440 DE: Plasma 6.1.2 WM: KWin Theme: Breeze-Dark [GTK2], Breeze [GTK3] Icons: breeze-dark [GTK2/3] Terminal: yakuake CPU: Intel i9-10885H (16) @ 5.300GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Mobile / Max-Q (nvidia: 555.58.02) The new driver update didn't help.
I can confirm that I'm having the same problem on Fedora 40 with Plasma 6.1.3.
I don't think it's specific to kwin. I'm having the same issue on Wayland session, plasmashell and kwin_wayland both have high CPU usage.
Another confirmation, both with and without an external monitor connected. Happens both when display is visible and when it's powered off. CPU usages (from `top` over SSH): kwin_x11 ~70-75%, Xorg.bin ~50%, ksmserver ~15%, kscreenlocker_g ~10% Software: * OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed (20240807) * KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.3 (package: 6.1.3-1.1) * KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0 * Qt Version: 6.7.2 * Kernel Version: 6.10.3-1-default (64bit) Hardware: * Framework 16 laptop (AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS, with Radeon 780M integrated graphics) * Display: 2560x1600 (external monitor: 1920x1200, connected with DVI->HDMI through a KVM switch)
Switching to a TTY (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1) also fixes the CPU usage here. Interestingly (didn't see this mentioned yet) it *stays fixed* when switching back to the TTY that has the locked X/KDE session! Unlocking and re-locking the session makes it reappear.

The issue with kwin_11 occurs after connecting a second monitor: when entering sleep mode, the kwin_11 process utilizes around 90% of the CPU, and this happens constantly. If you terminate this process, it will restart as soon as the second monitor attempts to disconnect and reconnect. As a result, xOrg doesn't function properly, and Wayland is still underdeveloped, leaving us with the current situation.
