[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1852001] Re: KDE GUI freeze on high disk IO
@ccheney Do you have any new information on this bug? Did your trick with drop_caches work eventually? I'm experiencing the same issue for quite some time with both KDE and Gnome (to support the fact that it's DE agnostic) and it definitely seems to occur at times when system starts caching. The GUI becomes completely unresponsive (including the mouse pointer) and the io indicator on laptop blinks violently. Each time this happens I make sure to check and confirm that the amount of swapped data is significant enough (from half a gigabyte to couple of gigabytes) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852001 Title: KDE GUI freeze on high disk IO Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've got massive problems with GUI on my PC.

In general - the problem happens once a day with any 5.0 or 5.3 kernel from eoan repo - more likely to happen with high disk or CPU load, but not necessarily. - less likely with the 4.x kernel mentioned above.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1852001] Re: KDE GUI freeze on high disk IO
@ccheney Regardless if my crashes are gone, my experience is that having a swap file in recent Linux is deadly. If Linux starts swapping only a little then it's hardly usable any more. I believe this is because of the algorithm that decides which pages to remove from memory. Your observation with 50% RAM could be related to VMLIM. VMLIM says how much of the RAM may be used for programs. By default this is half your RAM. The other half is for cache and buff only. (as I understood, this may be inaccurate). Try other values for VMLIM. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852001 Title: KDE GUI freeze on high disk IO Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've got massive problems with GUI on my PC.

Actually looking at the patch (shrink_dcache_for_umount) this might not be the whole problem but may be just related.

I haven't verified if this actually fixes the problem but it seems to make a huge difference in 'free' memory as shown by 'free'. I had already closed my VMs by the time I tried this so haven't verified if it stops the long freezes yet. totalusedfree shared buff/cache available Mem: 31030533127905347 22907 19900 Swap: 327673130 29637 echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches totalusedfree shared buff/cache available Mem: 310305349 1712253128557 19915 Swap: 327673130 29637 Notice the 2790 -> 17122 change above in 'free', and 22907 -> 8557 for buff/cache.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1852001] Re: KDE GUI freeze on high disk IO
I have this problem as well on Cinnamon, so it doesn't appear to be specific to KDE. It stalls often and frequently over 15-30 seconds at a time for no apparent reason. But the swapping to disk may be a clue. I see this on 5.4.0-40 and have also tried with the lowlatency version of the kernel and it doesn't help. One thing that seems to reduce the frequency of the problem somewhat is to disable transparent_hugepage support but it still happens even after that. I have 32GB ram and it starts happening when I get to about 50% ram (mem available) usage. The system also appears to start swapping at that point despite what swappiness is set to. I tried setting it to 10 but it is still swapping at what appears to be ~ 50% usage. It appears to be very easy to reproduce if you run a few VMware VMs on a system. # cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness 10 $ free -m totalusedfree shared buff/cache available Mem: 310306591 2469050 24192 14936 Swap: 327674942 27825 $ cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 31774792 kB MemFree: 256768 kB MemAvailable: 15324804 kB Buffers: 5887324 kB Cached: 16712984 kB SwapCached: 488276 kB Active: 19816476 kB Inactive:8835508 kB Active(anon): 12801324 kB Inactive(anon): 2522936 kB Active(file):7015152 kB Inactive(file): 6312572 kB Unevictable: 145612 kB Mlocked: 48 kB SwapTotal: 33554428 kB SwapFree: 28493052 kB Dirty: 2301336 kB Writeback: 9564 kB AnonPages: 6161528 kB Mapped: 7931416 kB Shmem: 9272240 kB KReclaimable:2201904 kB Slab:2451272 kB SReclaimable:2201904 kB SUnreclaim: 249368 kB KernelStack: 21552 kB PageTables:85272 kB NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Bounce:0 kB WritebackTmp: 0 kB CommitLimit:49441824 kB Committed_AS: 30098296 kB VmallocTotal: 34359738367 kB VmallocUsed: 55400 kB VmallocChunk: 0 kB Percpu: 7712 kB HardwareCorrupted: 0 kB AnonHugePages: 0 kB ShmemHugePages:0 kB ShmemPmdMapped:0 kB FileHugePages: 0 kB FilePmdMapped: 0 kB CmaTotal: 0 kB CmaFree: 0 kB HugePages_Total: 0 HugePages_Free:0 HugePages_Rsvd:0 HugePages_Surp:0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB Hugetlb: 0 kB DirectMap4k: 5078656 kB DirectMap2M:27346944 kB DirectMap1G: 0 kB ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852001 Title: KDE GUI freeze on high disk IO Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've got massive problems with GUI on my PC.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1852001] Re: KDE GUI freeze on high disk IO
Still this bugs haunts me every day. kernel 5.3.0-29-generic still affected. whenever swap is enabled, the system is almost unusable when cache grows too large with time. as already told, this is by far worse than the infamous linux swap trashing. while this can be worked around easily, I am still logged out without any warning randomly about every day, killing all active programs. This seems a bit more likely when I have Windows Virtualboxes running, that have more than one processor core assigned. I already updated VB-Client, VB-Settings... my assumption: this is some threading issue. maybe wrong priority of some graphics stuff, maybe too many semaphores in swap-in code... I don't know. This problem annoys me for almost a year now. I give up. My last try is making Virtualbox work with the testing kernels. If this doesn't work I will try some other distribution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852001 Title: KDE GUI freeze on high disk IO Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I've got massive problems with GUI on my PC.

According to the description there's no swap in the end, so I think it's like discussion in [1]. So yes, I think it's still a kernel bug.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1852001] Re: KDE GUI freeze on high disk IO, but disabling swap fixes it
I'm not really sure this is a bug. It sounds like expected behaviour: 1. Disk gets thrashed. 2. Any processes relying on memory swapping to/from that disk get delayed. No particular process is doing anything wrong. Just if you want to avoid that situation then maybe don't configure swap on such a disk. Then if you can survive without swap, problem solved. If you still need swapping for other reasons then either do so on a different disk or add more RAM, or run fewer programs.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1852001] Re: KDE GUI freeze on high disk IO, but disabling swap fixes it
attached "ps auxw" while GUI was freezed. kernel 5.4.1-050401-generic no swap I restarted GUI using /etc/init.d/sddm restart right now only the KDE taskbar and menu are locked, Alt-Tab and programs still work. (this is a rather new phenomena) I already experienced this once, where some programs were freezed too (eg libreoffice) and others weren't. I only got a message like "program does not answer, force close it"? maybe this is a second hand problem as some inter-process communication locks apps when KDE is locked? after about 5 minutes KDE bar crashed and restarted. now works. from syslog while KDE bar locked: pulseaudio[30539]: E: [pulseaudio] bluez5-util.c: GetManagedObjects() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply.
