340.46-4 memory leak

Hello,

I’m running Arch Linux on a MacBook Pro (4,1; Early 2008). The newest 340 drivers contain a memory leak that causes X to hang requiring a restart of Xorg/greeter.

I’m running Enlightenment as a window manager, with compiz disabled and opengl used as the rendering engine. This was working previously on nvidia-334, -337, and early versions of 340 (.24 and .32 does not seem to exhibit this issue).

Here are the current package versions:

$pacman -Q | egrep "xorg-server|enlightenment|nvidia-340|vlc|linux"
archlinux-keyring 20140908-1
enlightenment 0.19.0-1
lib32-util-linux 2.25.2-1
libutil-linux 2.25.2-1
linux 3.17.1-1
linux-api-headers 3.16.2-1
linux-firmware 20141009.0e5f637-1
linux-headers 3.17.1-1
linuxtv-dvb-apps 1504-1
nvidia-340xx 340.46-4
nvidia-340xx-libgl 340.46-3
nvidia-340xx-utils 340.46-3
util-linux 2.25.2-1
vlc 2.1.5-4
xorg-server 1.16.1-1
xorg-server-common 1.16.1-1
xorg-server-xvfb 1.16.1-1

nvidia-settings reports that 98% (254MB) of the dedicated video memory is used (256MB) while running only simple 2D applications (chrome, xterm, nvidia-settings) only the built-in display (LVDS, 1440x900). Trying to play video with VLC results in the driver crashing as it cannot allocate the required VRAM.

It would be great if NVidia could look into a possible regression in the 340 branch as this bug affects usability quite severely.

I also seem to be having this problem, with a Quadro K1100M.

The same here! It started in driver version 340.xx and is still present up to 343.22. Memory usage of my GTS 450 is mostly around 36% (from 1024 MB). If I open a simple GTK image thumbnail viewer (Geeqie) and scroll the thumbnail grid of a few (~100) pictures up and down again and again the memory usage increases massively (more thumbnails → faster increase): At first the card’s memory usage and when it is at 100% it starts to use my system’s memory (slow). At the end the X Server crashes (OOM kill).

Closing the viewer application brings everything back to normal (both card and system memory).

Setting my KDE to Compositing/OpenGL or Fallback (w/o any effects).

(sent nvidia-bug-report.log.gz by email)

Hey all, Please first reproduce the issue and then provide nvidia-bug-report by running nvidia-bug-report.sh as root user and also share reproduction steps that will help to easily reproduce this issue for investigation.

We are internally tracking this issue under : Bug 200054148

@dustbin: The increased usage when you’re browsing photos is somewhat expected. But the driver shouldn’t exceed the memory available on the card.

The behaviour I’m seeing is that VRAM is never deallocated. From a cold boot the % VRAM used will continue to increase until 98% or 99% at which point X will crash with the error in the original post. If I restart X and open nvidia-settings no significant amount of VRAM has been deallocated, with >97% VRAM used on an empty desktop after the first crash.

@sandipt: Reproduction steps are simple: install NVidia >=340.46 and play several short video files in VLC (e.g. put several in playlist and play through). Within 10 minutes X will crash with the error in original post. Reproducible 100% of the time.

I can only provide results from 8600M GT because that’s the only NVidia-based system I have.

Exactly! And remember I’m only scrolling a few thumbnails (!) up and down so the memory usage should stay low. In 343.22 I see a slightly different behaviour where video/system memory gets deallocated as soon as I quit the corresponding application (or when the X server gets killed).

I read in the release notes that they fixed a memory leak in 343.22 (?). For me it looks like they just didn’t resolve the issue completely? Have you tried to reproduce the bug with current version of the driver?

Another strange thing: This also happens on a clean Fluxbox-Session, but only with Geeqie (GTK viewer) and not with Gwenview (KDE/QT). I’m not entirely sure if this is hitting the bug you are reporting, but I’m quite sure that it used to work before the 340 update.

@dustbin: Unfortunately I cannot run any driver newer than 340 as NVidia has stopped supporting legacy GPUs in driver releases newer than 340. This is why it is crucial (for me) that this regression is fixed.

I also experience some random freezes running 340.32, but they’re much less frequent and there is no mention of failure to allocate VRAM in Xorg logs when it hangs. Right now I would like NVidia to investigate the regression in the 340.46 release which causes serious issues under regular use.

Hi dustbln, As of now we are not able to duplicate this issue. First reproduce the issue and then please provide nvidia bug report by running nvidia-bug-report.sh script as root user. Is this issue repro with any other application or hardware or gpu? what desktop environment you are running like kde, gnome, xfce etc …?

did you try 340.58? i believe all 340.xx driver versions support the legacy cards

We will try with GeForce 8600M GT (G84) legacy card, But we will prefer to get repro on not much old cards like GTS 450… Fermi or Kepler.

Hi dustbln, any updates on requested information?

On an 8500 GT (G86) card with the 340.xx driver and running the same tests as before I’m also not seeing a memory leak. After running VLC on a loop over the four day weekend, memory usage hadn’t increased; it was still at 37 MiB.
