Description of problem:

Looks like udisksd  again leaks big portion of memory
(it seems like reborn of Bug 892980)

At this moment I've udisksd eating >260MB and it's just enough to activate/deactivate devices...


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
udisks2-2.0.91-3.fc19.x86_64
libudisks2-2.0.91-3.fc19.x86_64

Comment 1 Tomáš Bžatek 2013-03-26 13:27:19 UTC
Just tried with your example

# modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=2 num_tgts=1700; udevadm settle

and got udisksd up to 26MB. That sounds reasonable for me. Neither gvfs volume monitors eat more memory.

Also tried with 17000 drives and got udisksd up to 198 MB and gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor up to 232 MB. That's about 11kB per drive/volume, including exposure to d-bus etc.

I'm tempted to try your lvm2 test some day.

The only problem I see is the same memory consumption when scsi_debug is rmmodded, we're probably leaking something there. Will look at that.

Comment 2 Zdenek Kabelac 2013-03-26 14:23:04 UTC
Yep - it's about doing this repeatedly (running in while loop)

But loosing 11kB per device is quite a lot - since most of the information is  already stored in udev database (which consumes also nontrivial amount of space via its /tmpfs storage) - it should be reevaluated which data needs to be present in udiskd memory and which could be easily grabbed from udev when needed.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-09-16 13:11:26 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 20 development cycle.
Changing version to '20'.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 08:55:36 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 11:47:52 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
