Bug#467214: xserver-xorg: memory leak
Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.3+10 Severity: normal Hi, X has a memory leak. After running for 52 days (and adding lots of swap), it was taking up 1831m of virtual memory: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEMTIME+ COMMAND 14893 root 5 -10 1831m 16m 1840 S 0.7 3.6 1690:08 Xorg I suspect it is something to do with DBus, as running strings(1) on swap produced lots of references to dbus: $ sudo strings /dev/hda2 /home/sys/swap/* |fgrep org.freedesktop.DBus.Local|wc -l 446272 The strings output contained lots of copies of: unix:path=/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket org_freedesktop_general org_freedesktop_general org_freedesktop_general /org/freedesktop/DBus/Local org.freedesktop.DBus.Local Disconnected Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. ECTED EXTERNAL DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 ANONYMOUS DBus appears to be working OK (at least running dbus-monitor then starting pidgin produced a flurry of messages). In case it is relevant, I'm running ion3 with mostly xterms. The data above was with a recent but non-current version of X from unstable, I've now been running for 19 days with the version that was in unstable 19 days ago, and X is up to 734Mb of VM usage. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help track this down. Ian. -- Package-specific info: Contents of /var/lib/x11/X.roster: xserver-xorg /var/lib/x11/X.md5sum does not exist.

ECTED EXTERNAL DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 ANONYMOUS That's interesting. I guess I'll forward this information in the upstream bugzilla, maybe it'll help them fix some memory leaks.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help track this down. You can look at xrestop in case there's an application allocating too many pixmaps. If dbus is really the bad guy here, you probably won't see anything in xrestop though. It could be related to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=447526 and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=457957 Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
