Bug ID: 523627
Summary: 8gb memory leak after couple of days
Classification: Applications
Product: KeepSecret
Version First 1.1.0
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: General

Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
I have encountered a severe memory leak in `keepsecret`. After leaving the
application running in the background for a few days, its memory consumption
grew to around 8GB.
I captured the process memory layout using `pmap -XX` and aggregated the
Resident Set Size (RSS). The data points directly to a massive leak in the
native C++ heap.
Here is the memory consumption breakdown:
- **Native C/C++ `[heap]`**: ~7.1 GB (7,274,000 KB RSS)
- **QML/JS GC Heap (`memfd:JSGCHeap:QtQml` / `unknown-usage:QtQml`)**: ~544
MB RSS
- **Shared libraries and other mappings**: Negligible
Snippet of the top memory consumer from `pmap`:
`5558aa2e1000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7282204 4 4 7274000 7274000 7274000 0 0

sd [heap]`
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. I've used keepsecret for couple of minutes, like clicking and testing
2. Left it running in the background
3. Looking at memory usage and I see:
OBSERVED RESULT
❯ ps -o pid,user,vsz,rss,pmem,command -p $(pgrep keepsecret)
PID USER VSZ RSS %MEM COMMAND
320815 xxx 11029680 7934800 25.0 /usr/bin/keepsecret
EXPECTED RESULT
100mb tops?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

additional tests.
