[Bug 376092] [NEW] Running Out of Memory with UXA

[Jonathan Michalon]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I have tested the Kernel Modesetting with my intel 945GM.
I'me running jaunty and followed that guide:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting

When I run compiz, the cached memory grows continuously until the system becomes unusable. I suspect this to be a memory leak.
I've found that this is related to UXA, KMS used or not, and happens with all the driver versions I have tested:
-- The official Jaunty 2.6.1
-- The 2.7.0 from ubuntu-x-swat
-- The 2.7.99 from xorg-edgers

This doesn't happen when using EXA or without compiz.

To reproduce:
Do some window open/close/resize/…
I use this bash line:
while true; do firefox & sleep 3; pkill firefox; done
You could see the cached memory grow quickly and about one minute after I'm out of memory (on 1GB).

I'm available for any test.
