Description-en: free implementation of the OpenGL API -- DRI modules
 This version of Mesa provides GLX and DRI capabilities: it is capable of
 both direct and indirect rendering.  For direct rendering, it can use DRI
 modules from the libgl1-mesa-dri package to accelerate drawing.
 .
 This package does not include the OpenGL library itself, only the DRI
 modules for accelerating direct rendering.
 .
 For a complete description of Mesa, please look at the
 libgl1-mesa-glx package.

Title:
  WebKitWebProcess WebKitGtk+ 2.4.8 uses memory without end when
  visiting some LinkedIn URL

Status in mesa package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 14.10 with GNOME3 PPA.

  I launch Web, GNOME's default browser and I log in into my LinkedIn
  profile.

  Then, from the top bar I place my pointer over the "Connections" menu so it is expanded, once expanded, I click on the "See all" link:
  https://www.linkedin.com/people/pymk/hub?ref=global-nav&trk=nav_utilities_invites_header

  Upon doing so, the browser freezes and I notice the HD of my computer
  starting to work hard. After checking with "top" the WebKitWebProcess
  is growing its used memory by the Gbs!!! and it doesn't seem to stop.

  This may not be a problem in WKGTK+ but the graphics driver since, after repeating the process with a GDB attached to the WebKitWebProcess, GDB states that the point in which it exits when manually killing the process is:
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so

  However, I cannot reproduce with Chromium, FF (of course, the code
  path is completely different).
