--- Comment #25 from Wachid Adi Nugroho <wachidadinugroho.m...@gmail.com> --- Created attachment 144354 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=144354&action=edit Heaptrack plasmashell with i965 and crocus drivers I used `ksysguard` and `heaptrack` to monitor memory usage of `plasmashell` for 5 minutes running with two different drivers `i965_dri.so` and `crocus_dri.so`. Procedure: - Open `ksysguard` - End Process of `plasmashell` - Open `konsole` with Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut, then Spit View or New Tab - Test with default driver (`i965_dri.so`) * `heaptrack /usr/bin/plasmashell` * `while true; do notify-send "Test plasmashell memory leaks: $(date)"; sleep 1; done` * Stop them Ctrl+C after 5 minutes - Test with Crocus driver (`crocus_dri.so`) * `MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=crocus heaptrack /usr/bin/plasmashell` * `export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=crocus; while true; do notify-send "Test plasmashell memory leaks: $(date)"; sleep 1; done` * Stop them Ctrl+C after 5 minutes Monitoring results at `ksysguard` (KDE System Monitor) | Driver | Begin | End | |--------|---------|----------| | i965 | 130 MiB | 1145 MiB | | crocus | 95 MiB | 360 MiB | Heaptrack files https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11Z9d0miByLll-XrxcS3Riow3_QY3YOcO Using the Crocus driver can significantly reduce memory leaks, but memory leaks still occur. So I think there needs to be a fix from the GPU drivers and KDE Plasma side. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
