Package: kwin-x11 Version: 4:5.27.5-3 Severity: normal Tags: upstream After 17 days, the number of threads of /usr/bin/kwin_x11 process has exceeded 2700 and it keeps increasing. At the beginning of a session, the process starts with 34 threads.
I could find that such leak happens when viewing videos fullscreen e.g. with mpv. Can anyone reproduce it ? More precisely: 1. start mpv without --fs -> thread count does not change 2. switch to fullscreen -> usually -2 threads 3. leaves fullscreen -> usually +17 threads 4. exit mpv -> thread count does not change Such a leak is at least a severe issue for anyone like me who set a nproc limit to protect against fork-bombs, in particular because it causes mysterious process crashes. I only understood the problem when I wanted to build a software that spawned a lot of processes. It also makes nproc limiting quite unusable without restarting KDE from time to time. Version 4:5.27.2-2 was affected too. I previously had 4:5.24.4-1 and I'm almost sure it had no leak. A few notes that may be specific to my setup: - I do have a 4k intel display. And regularly, for less than 1s, the display is corrupted. I haven't tried Wayland yet and I hope it will fix it. - I use mpv from deb-multimedia. - mpv conf: vo = gpu I couldn't find anything on bug.kde.org: should I forward ?
