This laptop *does* have a secondary GPU. Interesting. I *did* test whether firing up the secondary GPU resulted in memory increase, and it didn't seem to. *But* I don't think texture memory and KMS framebuffers are exposed as RSS anyway, so this leak would have been serious, but hidden.
I wonder if that also fixes the “you get a single black frame each time the secondary GPU is powered up” bug? 22 Jan 2020 6:01:00 am Daniel van Vugt <daniel.van.v...@canonical.com>: > Though I'm only assuming you're still a fan of secondary GPUs. > > -- > You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug > report. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856516 > > Title: > Excessive memory usage by gnome-shell in 19.10 > > Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: > Incomplete > > Bug description: > The gnome-shell process on my system is currently at 5473M VIRT 1224M > RSS 566M SHR; this seems a bit excessive. > > This session has been up for >4 days with a number of suspend/resume > cycles in there, so this might be a slow leak? > > ProblemType: Bug > DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.10 > Package: gnome-shell 3.34.1+git20191024-1ubuntu1~19.10.1 > ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.3.0+bcachefs.git20191120.71cdaa7a-1-generic > 5.3.10 > Uname: Linux 5.3.0+bcachefs.git20191120.71cdaa7a-1-generic x86_64 > NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl icp zcommon znvpair > ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu8.2 > Architecture: amd64 > CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME > Date: Mon Dec 16 16:50:10 2019 > DisplayManager: gdm3 > ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gnome-shell > InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-08-29 (109 days ago) > InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 19.10 bcachefs (20190828) > ProcEnviron: > LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 > LANGUAGE=en_AU:en > PATH=(custom, user) > SHELL=/usr/bin/fish > XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> > RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 3.34.1+git20191107-1ubuntu1~19.10.1 > SourcePackage: gnome-shell > UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) > > To manage notifications about this bug go to: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1856516/+subscriptions > -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856516 Title: Excessive memory usage by gnome-shell in 19.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1856516/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
