Hello

I am trying to find out why kwin_x11 is using one core on my machine at and showing 94  to 99% in top.  It isn't consistent as some times this doesn't occur.  This is on F30.

I set up another account on this machine for working at home and switch between the users being logged in at the same time.

User A and B KDE sessions are running.  New user C was created for work.  I login user C and switch back to B or A and then one core goes to 94 to 99% load on kwin_x11 for user C.

If I go to a VT terminal session , the kwin_x11 load disappears so it is related to both kwin sessions.

If I use a tree listing, there is nothing listed under kwin-x11

strace on the process provides

ppoll([{fd=11, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}], 5, {tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=0}, NULL, 8) = 0 (Timeout)

strace Summary of process calls.

% time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
100.00    0.713184           6    110466           ppoll
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
100.00    0.713184           6    110466           total

It does seem to be worse if I have any applications open such as Firefox or LibreOffice.

Do you know if this issue may have been coincidence with a kernel update?  I had a similar issue, but
didn't investigate, on F31 with a 5.5 kernel.  The problem cleared up after upgrade to F32 and a 5.6
kernel.


I have had it for a few month now.

Will test on a different computer and upgrade to F32. Had issues with F31 and LUKS support between LUKS 1 and LUKS 2 so concerned about upgrading.
