Priority: medium Bug ID: 62311 Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Summary: (kernel) memory leak Severity: major Classification: Unclassified OS: Linux (All) Reporter: fdo@won2.de Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) Status: NEW Version: unspecified Component: DRM/Radeon Product: DRI
I'm experiencing a (kernel) memory leak for several months now and it seems to got worse. I found a bug on https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43751#c11 but no solution yet (disregard command 12, it's not true ;)). I asked on IRC #fdo and #radeon and got told to file a bug here on fdo.
At some point I always run out of main memory and got lots of kernel messages like those: [drm:radeon_gem_object_create] *ERROR* Failed to allocate GEM object (4096, 6, 4096, -12) [TTM] Out of kernel memory [TTM] Out of kernel memory Repeating over and over again. I'm currently running radeon driver 7.1.0, mesa 9.0.1, xorg-server 1.13.1, KDE 4.9.5 (tried with compositing enabled and disabled).
I don't know what to do or how to debug this, could anybody please help?

--- Comment #1 from Jerome Glisse glisse@freedesktop.org --- Try using non kde desktop for a while (gnome, xfce, ...) and see if you have same issue.

--- Comment #2 from Peter Barth fdo@won2.de --- I'm running xfce for >3 weeks now without a problem.
On a side note I'm still using most KDE apps I'm used to (konsole, konversation, akregator,...).

--- Comment #3 from Marek Olšák maraeo@gmail.com --- It might be a memory link in KDE. Is this still an issue with the latest KDE and the latest Radeon driver components?

--- Comment #4 from Peter Barth fdo@won2.de --- Currently running radeon driver 7.2.0, xorg-server 1.14.3 and kde 4.11.2 with no problem. So this bug can be closed.
However, I want to note that the memory wasn't freed even after shutting down kde,X,kdm,...
