Bug ID: 383443 Summary: Infinite loop in baloo_file_extr due to incorrect parentId Product: frameworks-baloo Version: 5.34.0 Platform: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: grave Priority: NOR Component: Baloo File Daemon Assignee: pinak.ah...@gmail.com Reporter: marco.le...@gmx.de Target Milestone: --- I think it was after using git stash [pop] a few times that Baloo started running an infinite loop here: https://github.com/KDE/baloo/blob/v5.34.0/src/engine/documenturldb.cpp#L141 Apparently two file name IDs became each other's parents forming an infinite loop. I can't tell how it got there, but here is a reconstruction of the file path data structure from the top level to the loop: docId :29280948130416642 -> name:"helpers.new.2", parentId:29280922360612866 -> name:"generate unicode tables.dproj", parentId:29278212236249090 -> name:"mono-d", parentId:29280922360612866 -> [loop] On the filesystem I have sort of a backup copy of a few files including all of the above. So a first hint is that it might have to do with name collisions: ./source/fast/internal/helpers.new.2 ./mono-d/generate unicode tables.dproj ./delme/helpers.new.2 ./delme/mono-d/generate unicode tables.dproj There are more files in the directories, but these are all which match the names I could extract from debugging. The grave issue with this is that it will not only keep one CPU core busy, but also consume all system memory from concatenating path elements ad infinitum. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
