Description Trung Lê 2024-07-24 14:54:12 UTC

To Than Ngo and other maintainers of Chromium pckage

Firstly I would like to express my gratitude for your effort in support the PowerPC64LE.

Recently Timothy Pearson <tpearson> (the Debian maintainer of Chromium) has brought up the idea of having a patchset for the software that would lower the maintenance for packagers.

The patchset is currently being hosted in

https://gitlab.solidsilicon.io/public-development/open-source/chromium/openpower-patches

I would like to propose that Fedora project to adopt the patchset.

Lastly Tim has set up a monthly meeting between OpenPOWER community members to keep the patchset up to date with the upcoming Chromium releases. The meeting is open for all who are interested, so pelase don't hesitate to get in touch with Tim.

Now coming back to

Reproducible: Always

Comment 15 Trung Lê 2024-08-09 12:22:21 UTC

There is memory leakage with one chromium process which would lead to OOM

Please see my video https://youtu.be/sNMjTQh6B9Q for details

I've got in touch with Timothy Pearson today and he said it might be related to the problematic malloc on Linux kernel with pagesize 64k. However it is not the case, I have tested on both 4k and 64k pagesize kernel and still be able to re-produce the bug.

Let me try to verify whether the issue also occur on the Debian chromium version.
