[Bug 1764311] Re: KIO sftp high CPU usage after being left idle (endless loop?)
** Description changed:
Dolphin was left open overnight being connected via
sftp://user@host:port/folder/path.
(Two targets, one continuously reachable under host:port, one went offline
during the night)
Returning to the PC I found 4 sftp.so processes consuming 50% of a CPU core
each.
They continued to do so after the folders in Dolphin were closed, and even
after Dolphin itself was closed.
They responded to SIGTERM.
This is strace output from 1 of the processes, the same which apport was
used on:
ppoll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, {tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=100}, NULL, 8) = 0
(Timeout)
write(3, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
ppoll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, {tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=100}, NULL, 8) = 0
(Timeout)
write(3, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
ppoll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, {tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=100}, NULL, 8) = 0
(Timeout)
write(3, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
ppoll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, {tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=100}, NULL, 8) = 0
(Timeout)
write(3, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
ppoll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, {tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=100}, NULL, 8) = 0
(Timeout)
write(3, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
(continues to repeat, seems like its stuck in a loop)
Kubuntu 18.04 Beta 2, kde-runtime (4:17.08.3-0ubuntu1)
What I expected to happen:
- No high CPU usage, maybe no sftp.so process at all as the conenction was idle.
+ No high CPU usage, maybe no sftp.so process at all as the connection was idle.
What happened instead:
4 sftp.so processes using 200% CPU of my quad core, consuming energy and
shortening the lifespan of my system.
- Feel free to contact me with questions, I can try to reproduces the problem.
+ Feel free to contact me with questions, I can try to reproduce the problem.
Also I will leave one of the processes suspended for 1-3 days after filing
this report, so I can send a SIGCONT and give further information on it if
requested.

[Bug 1764311] Re: KIO sftp high CPU usage after being left idle (endless loop?)
Same problem: Dolphin sftp session open 12 hours (in a laptop, suspending between worktimes). I end with several sftp.so processes with high CPU use. A workaround is to use fish protocol in the Dolphin tab. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1764311 Title: KIO sftp high CPU usage after being left idle (endless loop?)

I should also mention that I tend to kill the sftp.so processes with signal 15 when they act up, and they seem to eventually respawn on their own, but I'm not sure whether that is by system restart or something else (I haven't tracked it in that much detail). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1764311 Title: KIO sftp high CPU usage after being left idle (endless loop?)

[Bug 1764311] Re: KIO sftp high CPU usage after being left idle (endless loop?)
I'm using KDE on Arch Linux, but I'm also experiencing the exact same situation, and have been for months. I tend to leave my systems running 24/7 and often notice one or more sftp.so processes in top taking up significant CPU resources. I did notice the CPU usage is worse when my Dolphin sftp sessions are unable to connect to their target host (I use a VPN to connect to some of the hosts, which I don't leave running all the time, while the respective Dolphin window remains open). Often CPU usage is reduced (although still not 0) once I reactivate the VPN. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1764311 Title: KIO sftp high CPU usage after being left idle (endless loop?)
