Well, that was easy. And yeah, that confirms my suspicions: #0 0x00007ffff7407407 in madvise () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007ffff494d69e in js::gc::DecommitMemory (addr=<optimized out>, size=<optimized out>) at /tmp/buildd/iceweasel-10.0.2/js/src/jsgcchunk.cpp:370 #2 0x00007ffff4944886 in DecommitFreePages (cx=<optimized out>) at /tmp/buildd/iceweasel-10.0.2/js/src/jsgc.cpp:2406 #3 SweepPhase (gckind=GC_SHRINK, gcmarker=0x7fffffff9460, cx=0x7fffe3b1d330) at /tmp/buildd/iceweasel-10.0.2/js/src/jsgc.cpp:2640 #4 MarkAndSweep (gckind=GC_SHRINK, cx=0x7fffe3b1d330) at /tmp/buildd/iceweasel-10.0.2/js/src/jsgc.cpp:2677 #5 GCCycle (cx=0x7fffe3b1d330, comp=<optimized out>, gckind=GC_SHRINK) at /tmp/buildd/iceweasel-10.0.2/js/src/jsgc.cpp:2921 #6 0x00007ffff4944d51 in js_GC (cx=0x7fffe3b1d330, comp=0x0, gckind=GC_SHRINK, reason=js::gcstats::MAYBEGC) at /tmp/buildd/iceweasel-10.0.2/js/src/jsgc.cpp:2983 #7 0x00007ffff5a42697 in nsJSContext::ScriptEvaluated (this=0x7fffe3c954c0, aTerminated=true) at /tmp/buildd/iceweasel-10.0.2/dom/base/nsJSEnvironment.cpp:3122 So yeah, not checking errno and repeatedly attempting to MADV_DONTNEED a range of memory that fails with a reason that isn't EAGAIN ... won't wash. While the whole alsa/jack plugin thing is somewhat unusal, that really is just an easy way to showcase the bigger problem of the lazy approach to madvise that firefox is taking. I can reconfigure my audio setup to avoid locking memory easily enough. Still, firefox shoudln't re-madvise memory ranges doomed to failure over and over again. -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
