Hi,

I was looking into why one of the loong64 host of ci.d.n was showing a spike is swap (we have 1.8 TB, it was used all) and loss of debci-workers and the culprit seems to be src:libipc-shareable-perl. I ran
"""
/usr/bin/autopkgtest --no-built-binaries --timeout=30600 --needs-internet=skip --timeout-install=9999 --user debci --apt-upgrade libipc-shareable-perl -- lxc --sudo --name elbrus autopkgtest-unstable-loong64
"""
manually on the host and killed it once top reported 70% memory use by perl (of the 127 GB). Swap plummeted from 74 GB to 10 GB.

I guess this means there's a memory leak somewhere on loong64. Otherwise, can you please limit the test to a reasonable memory footprint?

Paul

- There have been no upstream reactions so far; I'd like to keep
  whatever we apply now in Debian as minimal as possible.
- This means I'd rather leave 47-seg_size.t as it is now, and leave
  this fix to upstream. Even if the patch is correct, it needs time
  to review, increases the diff and our maintenance burden, and this
  test has annoyed as often enough already. (And close #1142815
  manually once a package builds everywhere and runs its
  autopackagetests.)

FWIW I agree, let's just leave t/47-seg_size.t disabled for now.

Ack.

Closing this bug with version 1.19-1 (which first disabled the test) after checking that 1.19-2 builds everywhere.


Cheers,
gregor
