Note that tools like valgrind (memcheck) are unlikely to find the problem. Because C++ and RAII... the offending resources get released on shutdown and never actually leaked. So instead of leaks, you have to hunt for "bloat" and use a memory/resource profiler.
I got distracted for a long time finding lots of similar but unrelated erratic bloat in Mir demo servers on Android. But I think those are specific to Mir demos and not Unity8. Seems plausible Unity8 is possibly avoiding some Mir logic that's bloaty in its own right. Next stop: Rebuild a qtmir development environment and investigate the snapshot stuff. In theory if the snapshot code is leaking a buffer then that would explain the anon_inode:dmabuf handle. However it's not just the snapshot code but also bug 1498816 and how that affects SessionMediator that's concerning. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1495871 Title: unity8 leaks file descriptors cause unresponsive ui but power button works display To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1495871/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
