[akregator] [Bug 440574] Memory Leak / Memory Usage For Large Feeds
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440574 --- Comment #10 from barray --- Created attachment 140612 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=140612=edit Valgrind log after running for quite a few hours on built source It was horrifically slow, but I tried to use it as normal over a decent time window. Hopefully this valgrind log is more useful for debugging memory use. My experience of reading valgrind output is quite limited, but I will take a look in a few days. In the meantime, if you would like me to check anything else, please let me know. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440574 --- Comment #9 from barray --- Created attachment 140591 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=140591=edit Replicated RAM usage issue in a debug build As you can see, I am now able to replicate the RAM usage issue in a debug build. The next step for me is to run this under valgrind and try to generate more useful output. After that I want to run on the latest release tag and try to replicate the issue there. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I have done this and will try to replicate the issue again. I can now access the menus and metakit appears to be working. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440574 --- Comment #6 from barray --- Created attachment 140567 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=140567=edit RAM usage over time for built-from-source version This is the built-from-source version - the issue doesn't appear to replicate (at least not to the same level). It also crashes when selecting the menu item: `Settings > Configure Akregator`, giving: ./bin/akregator: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/akregator_config_userfeedback.so: undefined symbol: _ZN9Akregator19UserFeedBackManager4selfEv I suspect it could be some issue with the archiving [1]. I spoke with @pinaraf in #akregator on Libera IRC and they seemed to believe there are some large flaws in the archiving process in any case.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440574 --- Comment #5 from barray --- I have built from source (v20.12.3) and am now making sure it still replicates. If so, I plan to get a better valgrind output - as well as confirm the issue in later versions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I'm logging the RAM usage every 300 seconds using the SO answer here:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/508799
The code is:
```
delay=300
pid="$1"
top -b -d $delay -p $pid | awk -v OFS="," '$1=="top"{ time=$3 } $1+0>0 { print
time,$1,$NF,$9,$10; fflush() }'
```
This gives RAM as a percentage of total memory, but should allow the
observation of memory increase to be obvious.
The purpose of doing this is to see whether it is linear (memory leak in small
loop), periodic (when feeds are pulled) or sporadic (specific feed content is
leaking memory). It also will show the extent of this problem.

[akregator] [Bug 440574] New: Memory Leak / Memory Usage For Large Feeds
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440574 Bug ID: 440574 Summary: Memory Leak / Memory Usage For Large Feeds Product: akregator Version: 5.16.3 Platform: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: crash Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org Reporter: bar...@protonmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY I am currently observing ~250MB of RAM usage increase per day. This lead to a system crash. Currently Akregator is consuming 1.7GB of RAM, 4.9GB of virtual memory. Compare this to Firefox with hundreds of active tabs, consuming 1.4GB of RAM and 8.9GB of virtual memory. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Large number of RSS feeds (OPML export is ~300kB and ~700 lines) 2. Set checking time to 30 minute intervals 3. Wait for 24 hours OBSERVED RESULT A ~250MB RAM increase over 24 hours. Over several weeks this will lead to a system lock-up/crash (in this case). EXPECTED RESULT A little to no RAM increase over 24 hours. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: - macOS: - Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 21.04 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: - KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
