[ Test Plan ] 1. Install the White Sur theme from https://github.com/vinceliuice/WhiteSur-gtk-theme 2. Enable the theme in Gnome Tweaks. 3. Start tracking memory usage in a format that can be easily graphed. Include any data and graphing scripts used in your tests in this report. 4. Keep gnome-shell open for 2 days, and keep the machine idle 5. Save graph of memory usage Perform these steps on both an unpatched system and a patched system and compare the results. [ Expected Behavior ] Memory utilization graph should be relatively flat at start and end of experiment [ Actual Behavior ] Memory utilization graph increases roughly linearly with respect to time [ Where problems could occur ] This patch changes which memory management primitive is used in one place, which could theoretically result in a user-visible crash if improperly implemented. [ Other info ] This is to track upstream bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/8509 which seems to be a regression starting in gnome-shell 46.0.
