Using kernel 2.6.32-21-generic and xorg-edgers packages: After just 10 minutes uptime the slowdown has occurred, with a lower object bytes count than before. Here is the output at the point in which the slowdown became noticeable:
c...@nx9010:~$ pid=`pidof X` ; for t in `seq 1 10`; do eog /usr/share/backgrounds ; echo `grep "object bytes" /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/gem_objects` `ps ocomm,vsz,rss $pid |grep X`; done 156647424 object bytes Xorg 26912 18948 158511104 object bytes Xorg 26912 18948 163356672 object bytes Xorg 27680 19524 162840576 object bytes Xorg 27680 19524 164474880 object bytes Xorg 26912 18948 166895616 object bytes Xorg 21808 13844 168878080 object bytes Xorg 21808 13844 170754048 object bytes Xorg 21808 13844 172756992 object bytes Xorg 21808 13844 174747648 object bytes Xorg 21808 13844 Conclusion: in the case of my particular system, the memory leak is occurring in all cases (with or without the X server update or xorg- edgers packages), but the slowdown can be avoided by using the 2.6.34-rc5 kernel. I have just one more combination to test: kernel 2.6.34-rc5 + stock drivers (i.e., no xorg-edgers packages) + the proposed X server update. After that, I promise to stop spamming this bug ;). -- [KMS] gem objects not deallocated https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/565981 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
