Your patch fixes the problem here too! Great job spotting it!! I am curious, what research process did you undertake in order to isolate the leak? I would like to learn how to do that. I am a software engineer, but apparently there's some tool I should know about that would help me narrow down this kind of leak to a specific part of the code. Anyway, I think you should really put this patch up for inclusion into git master. I don't see any adverse effects from the patch, and it definitely resolves the issue (I've run imprudence for 45 minutes and it's only using 3.8% of my 6GB of memory, whereas before it would get OOM Killed within 5 minutes). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
