[Bug 151168] Re: Memory leak in nvidia-glx-new's GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap

2009-06-07 Thread Petar Velkovski
I'm having the same problem in Ubuntu 9.04 with intel GMA950 graphics. I
use intel drivers from xorg-edgers PPA. i am still not sure if it is
compiz bug or a intel driver bug or something else. All I know is that
after a few hours or mostly a day of usage of my system, the swap drive
is getting full (compiz.real uses 1.3GB od virtual memory) and I get
noticeable slowdown of the system. Also because I keep firefox open all
the time, there appears a problem with font rendering of the new pages I
open. Some of the letters become weird, if I zoom in or out the text,
some of the letters become readable again, while others become
scrambled. Considering the fact that my system is anything but a
standard 9.04 installation (because of the now famous Intel graphic
driver fiasco) I am not really sure what part of the system to really
blame. Is it the kernel (linux kernel 2.6.30rc8 from kernel PPA), is it
the mesa drivers or intel driver or whatever that comes from xorg-edgers
PPA, or maybe the problem appeared from the compiz upgrade from jaunty-
proposed repository, or is it firefox 3.5b4 that I use. All I know is
that after a few hours or mostly a day, I have to restart my computer.
It's like Bil Gates took over the development of Ubuntu.

This bug is gone in Intrepid.  I am running with version 177 of the
nvidia driver and my compiz-real process rarely gets about 100MB.  It
used to take about 3 hours to get to 400MB.  No more lock-ups...I am
completely thrilled.  I have a GE Force Go 7400.

[Bug 151168] Re: Memory leak in nvidia-glx-new's GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap

2008-08-20 Thread Daniel J Blueman
This bug is still prevalent in 8.04.1 as of 2008-08-20; as the current
nvidia driver (169.12+2.6.24.13-19.45) sets a flag in the pages used to
map textures from, and the flag isn't cleared on the correct path,
allocated pages get locked. There is a (userspace) per-process 32KB
locked limit for good reason, yet we're seeing gigabytes being locked
(drivers can do what they want), which is catastrophic.

This ultimately leads to a fatal OOM situation; the OOM killer doesn't
guarantee that compiz.real will get killed, however all workflow is
lost, as the system will be paging and with little or zero pagecache;
page reclamation logic will be scanning for pages to reclaim and
desperately shrinking pools - everything will suffer.

Basically, this single bug destroys your uptime, forcing workarounds and
risk for technical users catching it in time; indeed it is (was, will
be) the biggest productivity-eater I've experienced (much like windows
updates can force you to reboot, let alone even doing it for you).

Timo et al, now that nVidia has addressed this bug in updated, stable
drivers, what conditions prevent us testing an SRU?

i think the nvidia-driver should be also updated for users that don't
use envy-ng. This is a quite critical bug that can lead to data-loss.
for example the kernel killed once my virtualbox-session cause there
wasn't any free memory left ...

Can you enable the hardy-proposed and hardy-updates repositories,

In any case this is definitely a bug which we can't fix. NVIDIA should

Too bad 173.08 is a beta driver, and EnvyNG's author clearly states that
he would only include stable driver in EnvyNG. I hope Nvidia will soon
release their new stable driver, 169.12 not only has this memory leak
problem but also couldn't detect the correct EDID information on certain
laptops (my 14 Thinkpad T61p is one of them).

Unlikely to get into Hardy simply because it is a beta driver.

However, with envyng in hardy, it makes it pretty painless for users to

yeah they can't reproduce it cause they are using cards with too much
memory. As someone wrote somewhere this problems disappears if one has
enough videomemory. So instead of sending nvidia hardware, they should
test with a mainboard with integrated nvidia graphics set videomemory to
32MB. Then they should be able to reproduce the bug ...

i strongly suggest all users experiencing this problem to voice their
concern to nvidia, rather than to ubuntu.

nvnews is a great place for this, as nvidia staff monitor it.  Several
nvidia staff have already replied to an ongoing thread, but have not
been able to reproduce the problem.  If we can help them reproduce it,
we can possibly get this resolved.

Please, if you can, chime in to the following thread so we can get this moving:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=100803

The more that respond and voice concern, the higher nvidia will make it
a priority, hopefully.

2008-01-11 Thread Jeremy Akers
I'm not sure if I'm having the same issue, but I am experiencing some
severe memory issues.  After a reboot, free -m looks like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ free -m
 total   used   free sharedbuffers cached
Mem:  3033724   2309  0 29406
-/+ buffers/cache:288   2745
Swap: 3773  0   3773

As you can see, I have 3GB of memory, and I'm using less than 300MB.  No
big deal.  However, over the course of a week, the +/- buffers/cache
line slowly increases to nearly 3GB.  Running top and hitting shift + M
does not show any processes hogging memory.  In fact, the list looks
almost identical to what it looks like immediately after a reboot.  No
more than 150 processes, and none are using higher than normal amounts
of memory.  And even if I shut down -everything- on my box, including
GDM, X server, etc, and login to the console on CTRL-ALT-F2, my memory
usage does not decrease at all.

I'm -guessing- this is some sort of kernel level driver leak with the
nvidia driver, based on what I've read from others.  But I do not know
how to confirm this.  Is there a way to get the kernel to print a
mapping of it's internal address space to determine what's using this
memory?  Or does anyone have any other suggestions as to what to try?

I'm running Ubuntu 7.10, without Compiz (I completely uninstalled it)

[Bug 151168] Re: Memory leak in nvidia-glx-new's GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap

2007-12-18 Thread Aaron Ang
Nice to see that others have the same problems as me. (roughly speaking
:P)

Linux straylight 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007
i686 GNU/Linux

Intel Centrino 1.8Ghz, 1GB RAM, nVidia Geforce Go 6200.

After a random amount of time, everything slows down, making it
completely unusable,  forcing me to reboot the x server. Don't know if
this is related, but usually when right clicking for the context menu,
it takes longer to appear, and briefly showed garbled colored lines
before it shows properly.

I'm not quite show how to display my current nvidia version, but I'm
pretty sure it's the latest one, I've always installed available
updates. I'm seriously thinking about going back to XP because I can't
use it for day to day stuff, and just go without the compiz fusion
coolness.

This is a pretty bad leak, since the memory is locked by the driver
(normally, a non-root process can lock 8 or so KB max), and is clearly
pages marked by the driver, as everything in /proc/pid/maps is (more
or less) as expected.

I can't believe nvidia don't have infrastructure for an automated test
for this.

I'm still seeing this issue under 169.04. Over on the NV forum, the
developers are pretty surprised to hear others are seeing it too. I
think the issue is in the animations plugin. Just turning it on and off
causes memory usage to start increasing.  I'm leaving it off for now to

Hi all,

I've switched to an Inspiron 1720 which has an 8600M GT chipset - 
previously I had been using an Inspiron 8600 with a 64Mb GeForce 5200. 
Compiz.real is behaving itself so I guess the problem is related to the 
amount of video memory available. I'm using a release version of Gutsy 
on both machines and doing the same set of development activities on 
both. I guess testing is happening on relatively recent machines.

2007-10-31 Thread DasFx
As Kaltsoplyn stated before, enabling indirect rendering gets rid of the 
leaking !!!
I enabled it via the compiz-icon and the usage immediately shrunk back to only 
25MB and it stays stable.

btw,
The leaking only happens on my dell latitude d620 , which has an nvidia card 
with 128MB of video, and not on my desktop with a 256MB videocard.
Enabling indirect rendering also took a away the black-window bug in the past 
on my notebook.

So we have the same workaround again..seems like the leaking and the BWB
is somehow related

[Bug 151168] Re: Memory leak in nvidia-glx-new's GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap

2007-10-31 Thread Chris Halse Rogers
Yes, see my comment above:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz-fusion-plugins-
main/+bug/151168/comments/72

Previously, when the card ran out of video memory for window textures,
you'd get all-black windows instead of the proper texture (the BWB).
Using --indirect-rendering made it easier for the drivers to do this
correctly (but you could still get black windows if you tried hard
enough).

With the nvidia-glx-new drivers, they've done work to fix the BWB.  Now,
when you would normally get a black window, instead the memory for that
window is leaked into the compiz.real process.  And if you try *really*
hard, you can still get black windows.

So, anything that used to reduce the incidence of black windows (more
video memory, --indirect-rendering) will *reduce* (but not eliminate)
the incidence of this bug.

It's probably not worth commenting on this bug anymore.  We're pretty
sure what's causing it, how it's triggered, what it affects, and that
we'll need to wait for nVidia to fix it.  More me too comments almost
certainly won't add any useful new information.

I guess that on the other machine there is no hardware graphics acceleration, 
so --indirect-rendering is on by default.
hmmm or vice versa :)
or maybe one machine does not have an nvidia chip, and thus no nvidia driver, 
which seems to be the weak link of the whole situation.
But anyhow 60Mb at start-up seem a lot.

I can confirm that.
I have the same problem with nVidia drivers (G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 
7300] on my Dell Latitude D620). With my 1GB ram I run out of memory in about 
15 minutes! If I swap Normal visual effects to None, memory usage will drop 
dramatically (from 90% to 40%). But when I switch visual effects back to 
normal, memory usage does not leap at all. If this is not a memory leak, then 
memory leaks do not exist.

2007-10-27 Thread Chris Halse Rogers
As far as I can tell, you will see this bug on any nVidia card with the
nvidia-glx-new drivers, but only once you've exhausted the onboard
texture memory.  So I need to open a *lot* of windows on my 512Mb card
before it starts leaking, but it still does.  With 64mb of memory,
you'll hit the limit much faster, but now instead of seeing black
windows, the texture memory for that window will get added to
compiz.real's memory space, and won't be released.

So, having enough more memory will greatly reduce the likelyhood that
you trigger this bug, but cannot eliminate it entirely.

2007-10-26 Thread Sasa Markovic
I do apologize for frequent posting, but it looks like Evilspy's
solution is *REAL* (kudos to him). It's probably the simplest possible
workaround available right now (apart from eliminating compiz entirely).
At least, it works for me as well.

ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard with NVidia GeForce 6150 GPU:

1) enter your bios settings
2) go to Advanced/Chipset/Frame Buffer Size 
3) default is 64M, increase to 256M 
4) reboot
5) play with your cube, windows  effects and monitor memory usage of 
compiz.real

Prior to this modification I managed to exaust 1Gb of memory in 5
minutes just by playing with windows. Now compiz is almost stuck at
37/38Mb and, trust me, I have played with a lot of windows and made
dozens of cube rotations.

I have just decreased frame buffer size from 256M to 128M in order to
spare some RAM for OS and it looks promising so far: still at 38Mb.

P.S. I don't have a slightest idea what 'frame buffer size' really mean

2007-10-26 Thread Sasa Markovic
I must agree with Ramesh...

My (and probably his) frustration comes from the fact that I installed
Gutsy in a standard way: no hacks, no dirty tricks, just a few clicks to
upgrade from Feisty, everything by the book. With a mainstream machine
and a mainstream graphics card I expected smooth transition. It looked
so until I found out that I had to restart machine on regular basis just
to keep it running.

That's my experience. And that experience is, obviously, shared by many
others. Not everyone is able to draw a division line between nvidia
drivers, compiz and Ubuntu, to read memory consumption of compiz.real
process or to play with install-this-try-that approach. People say: I
use Ubuntu, not I use Ubuntu with a restricted video driver which
needs fixing and I'll be patient. Such people (and they are majority)
will say that Gutsy just does not work. If that is their first
experience with Ubuntu, disappointment is inevitable.

From the overall point of view It does not matter if this problem
belongs to nvidia or compiz or Ubuntu. In the end it might turn out that
the planets of the Solar systems are improperly aligned and all we can
do is to wait until Neptune moves a bit.

I just want to say that this issue is critical to many and needs much
more publicity and attention than just a bug tracker page with a (very)
cryptic name.

for Firefox/Thunderbird/Pidgin/Terminal/Video type of computer usage

Another strange thing happened today.
The bug vanished from my system, and I don't know why. Today I've donne:

 sudo nvidia-settings 
to add some good refresh rate, because I've made the upgrade from feisty and it 
got a little messed up. I send my current xconf.org as attachment... By the way 
it is a mess because of the new screen and graphics manager.

Instated avant window manager (didn't like it). See:

About last post... Sorry.
The problem is still there, but somehow it's progression is slower.
I've been opening and closing programs like a mad for 20 minutes (to further 
test) and the resident memory climbed to 155MB and the virtual to 190MB, from 
several hundreds. I have 1GB.
The memory consumption seems to accelerate with time, hence my initial optimism.

[Bug 151168] Re: Memory leak in nvidia-glx-new's GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap

2007-10-25 Thread Sasa Markovic
Just my two cents:

With everything fully up-to-date, I can only say:

gutsy + nvidia-glx-new + compiz = total disaster

I have an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard with an integrated NVidia GeForce
6150GPU. I use the following compiz plugins: Cube, Expo, Rotate Cube,
Viewport Switcher, Animations, Water Effect, Windows Decoration, Wobbly
Windows, Image loading plugins, Cube Caps, Dbus, Resize info, Video
Playback, Application Switcher, Move Window, Place Windows, Scale,
Resize Window.

It leaks memory as a rotten barrel and makes my (once beautiful) Ubutnu
almost useless. Two or three hours of work and it's dead as a rat.
Compiz takes 600-700Mb of 1Gb RAM available, the machine starts swapping
and and soon - it's gone.

This was my easisest way to reproduce this bug:

1) Open Thunderbird and Firefox
2) Minimize Thunderbird, Maximize Thunderbird, Minimize Firefox, Maximize 
Firefox
3) Repeat step 2 and watch how comipz.real leaks memory. You don't need to 
rotate the cube at all.

After repeating step (2) ten times, memory usage of compiz increased
from 275Mb to 433Mb :(

  PID USER  PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEMTIME+  COMMAND
 5504 sasam 15   0  433m 398m 364m S  1.3 40.8   0:37.62 compiz.real 

IMHO, this is a *critical* issue: gutsy, nvidia nad compiz are common on
many ubuntu installations and god knows how many users will encounter
this problem as soon as they upgrade to gutsy.

I'm with Sasa on this.

This issue is *really* critical. Is this already known upstream?

Also, any ubuntu devs to comment, and confirm this bug?

So far, there are two soluctions wich work for me right now:

1. Don't use Compiz. You can do this by disabling it in the appearance applet.
2. Issue a compiz --replace once in a while, to clean up the memory

I hope this gets fixed soon :(

It affects mainstream PCs, all of them with Ubuntu flagship product.
Isn't it enough to treat this issue as critical ('blocker' being a more

If Gutsy had been my first expereince with Ubuntu, I would have trashed
it after a few hours. But Feisty was so cute, so I'll give Ubuntu one
more chance.

just recommended.  Anyone know whether this works for all cards?  This
bug affects enough people that this information should probably go on a

Are there other disadvantages to installing xgl?  I remember that when i

though it's not always effective -- my experience has been that if
leave the computer on  go away, it can be completely unresponsive when

Matt, I fail to see how this is strictly NVIDIA's fault. Many of the
people who have commented on this bug (including myself) had working
Compiz setups in Feisty, and they have now regressed to an unusable
state in Gutsy.

I was running the exact same NVIDIA driver (100.14.19) in Feisty as I am

a regression on the Ubuntu/Compiz side.

Does the Xgl X server *still* not support XKB? That was a blocker for me

I believe nvidia-glx-new *is* required for some cards, including (I
believe) my NVS 285 Quadro. I tried nvidia-glx instead but the stupid
lrm-video script wouldn't let the module actually load and refused to
tell me what was going on; I didn't bother to track it down. I'll give

compiz --use-copy has never worked with any official version of compiz

[Bug 151168] Re: Memory leak in nvidia-glx-new's GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap

2007-10-23 Thread Chris Halse Rogers
That seems to confirm a leak in GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap.  When
running Xgl, Compiz doesn't use the nVidia provided t_f_p, and instead
uses Mesa's copy.

I'm retitling the bug with a more appropriate name.

** Summary changed:

- memory leak with ring
+ Memory leak in nvidia-glx-new's GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap

By monitoring '/proc/compiz.real-pid/maps' I noticed that leak seems
to source to leaking '/dev/nvidia0' mmaps.
