Memory leak investigation

Monday, October 9, 2017

Installed heaptrack on various machines.

First run on Shuttle / Rescue: Machine hung

Running on Crazypad, the Lenovo Thinkpad. Not reproducing the memory leak, unless I hit control-Z and restart. Then memory jumps very quickly. Tried overloading the system with builds and loops, that is not enough to cause a "progressive" overload.

Here is what the memory leak typically looks like in heaptrack:

Setting up new guests and upgrading Muse and Shuttle to more recent Fedora. Downloaded a new copy of Fedora 26, the one I have on a USB key now fails the integrity test during boot.

This is the work blog of Christophe de Dinechin for Red Hat. Think of it as a public lab book.

This should not be particularly interesting except to myself. It's really more intended as a set of personal notes, so there is no formatting whatsoever. I type tings as I go along during the day. All you'll find here are things like stack traces, Linux commands I want to remember or bugzilla links I want to be able to return to.

If you want to read stuff about my work at Red Hat that I believe is more interesting to the general public, you will find it on A Spice Odyssey. If you want to read my rants about everything else, go to Grenouille Bouillie. This is about as much advertisement as you will find on this site.
