Details
All versions of xf86-video-intel after 2.21.15 under SNA
contain a pixmap cache of sorts.
Up until 5 hours ago, the codebase was happy to accrue, but never use or cull pixmaps. The result of this is that my X session has been running for 24 hours and is 5GB. My machine is 2GB into swap and thrashing awkwardly. Apparently I am not the only one, as Ubuntu also had bugs filed and acknowledged of exactly this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1272338 Comment 11 contains two patches that supposedly fix this, which I believe should be added to prepare() until a new release is out, because this isn't good - I've had to restart X daily since the last video-intel update. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=dfac4650e621055c5504c1bcf6df6449afa6d8d2 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=bdbb928ea38977bd2784f454f35db2ac2c13c34c |
