Hi Łukasz, thanks for the heads-up.
I just tested systemd from -proposed, version 204-5ubuntu20.28 and it
fixes the issue reported in this LP.
The test consists in doing multiple SSHs in a loop (better explained in
the description). I've run the test with and without cgmanager
installed, in kerne

Dan, this is the v3 of the patch. I bumped the version to 20.28 since my
proposed 20.27 caused the regression aforementioned.
For this version, I removed the dependency of cgmanager, along with the

similar code is present on sys
Thank you Mauro! One thing that worth to take a look is that you're
using kernel 3.13, and this could be related to the high CPU utilization
issue you're observing.
We're changing the approach of this fix to not rely on cgmanager
anymore. The CPU utilization issue is however another bug that needs

I am also experiencing cpu overload for cgmanager and (after disabling it in

Thanks Stéphane, the 2nd point is a reasonable consideration.
Regardless if I could provide a fix to cgmanager for the regression,
certainly it won't be added again as a dependency.

Removed this SRU from -proposed.
Two reasons for this:
1) The mentioned regression
2) We should NEVER introduce a new dependency to a package through an SRU.
Doing so will prevent any user that doesn't dist-upgrade (uses
upgrade/safe-upgrade instead) from getting the new dependency, instead
We had a potential regression reported after some users installed this package
from -proposed.
The reports starts on comment #17 in LP: #1303649 .
Summary: users are reporting high CPU loads from both systemd-logind and
cgmanager processes, as well as delays in logins. I'm investigating to
reprod
Thanks Dan and Brian.
Just tested: after 1h and more than 5500 SSH sessions, no leaks at all were
observed.
(As a comparison, testing the "old" version 20.26 I got 1.8 MB of leak in half
an hour!)

Thanks Dan.
About cgmanager: if we don't have it installed, it does not affect
memory of systemd-logind tool per se. What happens, IMHO, is even more
severe: we don't free/de-allocate sysfs cgroup paths for sessions. So,
in my tests _without_ cgmanager, after 8000 SSH sessions to my target
machine
That looks good.
My only comment now is, I see you've switched cgmanager from Suggests:
to Depends:...is that *really* needed to fix a memleak here? i.e., if
you uninstall cgmanager and re-run your memleak tests, does mem still
leak? While changing it to a Depends: isn't impossible, I'd prefer t

Dan, really well-observed! Thanks for the suggestion, it makes total
sense. I'll update the approach: instead of using session_remove_fifo()
to add the session on GC, I'll use the DBus handler itself.
After testing, I'll submit a debdiff_v2 here.

I tried to explain this a bit in comment #1, not too much detailed though:

As already briefly mentioned, Trusty systemd's package has
additional patches to customize systemd - specially, we have the addition
of glue code to make Trusty's systemd work with cgmanager. This is
necessary due to the choice of upstart as init manager - it prevents
regular cgroup handling from s
It was noticed that during the logind manager logic for creating a session
based on dbus event, the sessions's initialization procedure will allocate
2 structures related to cgroup management of a session: controllers and
reset_controllers.
Both these structs are filled with cgroup controllers (wh
After some debug, it was observed that the only path in which a session
is freed (other than in user/seat free or manager free) is in garbage
collecting, specifically in the function manager_gc().
It means a closing session should be somehow added to gc in order gc has
a chance to validate if the s
