When hadrian builds the binary-dist job, invoking tar and xz is already the last step and there'll be no other ongoing jobs. But I do agree with reverting, this minor optimization I proposed has caused more trouble than its worth :/ On Thu, Sep 29, 2022 at 9:25 AM Bryan Richter wrote: > >

Matthew pointed out that the build system already parallelizes jobs, so it's risky to force parallelization of any individual job. That means I should just revert. On Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 2:38 PM Cheng Shao wrote: > I believe we can either modify ci.sh to disable parallel compression > for

I believe we can either modify ci.sh to disable parallel compression for i386, or modify .gitlab/gen_ci.hs and .gitlab/jobs.yaml to disable XZ_OPT=-9 for i386. On Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 1:21 PM Bryan Richter wrote: > > Aha: while i386-linux-deb9-validate sets no extra XZ options, >

Aha: while i386-linux-deb9-validate sets no extra XZ options, *nightly*-i386-linux-deb9-validate (the failing job) sets "XZ_OPT = 9". A revert would fix the problem, but presumably so would tweaking that option. Does anyone have information that would lead to a better decision here? On Wed, Sep

Sure, in which case pls revert it. Apologies for the impact, though I'm still a bit curious, the i386 job did pass in the original MR. On Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 1:00 PM Bryan Richter wrote: > > Yep, it seems to mostly be xz that is running out of memory. (All recent > builds that I sampled, but

Yep, it seems to mostly be xz that is running out of memory. (All recent builds that I sampled, but not all builds through all time.) Thanks for pointing it out! I can revert the change. On Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 11:46 AM Cheng Shao wrote: > Hi Bryan, > > This may be an unintended fallout of

Hi Bryan, This may be an unintended fallout of !8940. Would you try starting an i386 pipeline with it reversed to see if it solves the issue, in which case we should revert or fix it in master? On Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 9:58 AM Bryan Richter via ghc-devs wrote: > > Hi all, > > For the past week

Consistent CI failure in job nightly-i386-linux-deb9-validate

2022-09-28 Thread Bryan Richter via ghc-devs
Hi all, For the past week or so, nightly-i386-linux-deb9-validate has been failing consistently. They show up on the failure dashboard because the logs contain the phrase "Cannot allocate memory". I haven't looked yet to see if they always fail in the same place, but I'll do that soon. The
