Public bug reported:
Yesterday evening I tested two applications using positioning.
Everything was working fine. I can't remember if I have closed the apps
or not, but today I noticed unity8-dash being stuck in a restart-loop.
All open/recent apps were killed by the oom killer (lifecycled) and the
dash keeps getting killed by the oom killer and respawned by upstart.
logging into the phone reveals that ubuntu-location-service is taking
approx 1GB of memory, causing everything else to be killed.
Here's some collected data:
Device: Nexus 4 (mako)
Image #: 6 (RTM channel)
----------------------------------------------
dmesg keeps on printing this repeatedly:
[101795.423688] send sigkill to 1431 (unity8-dash), adj 50, size 23410
[101807.612457] send sigkill to 1496 (unity8-dash), adj 50, size 23635
[101820.325321] send sigkill to 1550 (unity8-dash), adj 50, size 23748
[101833.122788] send sigkill to 1607 (unity8-dash), adj 50, size 24336
-----------------------------------------------
location-service's oom score info:
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cat /proc/984/oom_score
452
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cat /proc/984/oom_adj
0
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cat /proc/984/oom_score_adj
0

as we can see here, location-service is using about 1 GB reserved
memory, steadily growing (about 100kb every 10 mins). unity8-dash is
using all the CPU because it keeps getting respawned and killed.
