[Bug 1497996] [NEW] When a new connection occurs, NetworkManager mmaps 64Mb hunk which is equivalent to the 32.28Kb per second rate over a 1800 second run of heath-check
Public bug reported:
This is noticed during health-check's tests on trusty (mostly i386)
ISO's.
The failed builds in
https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Trusty/view/Smoke%20Testing/job
/trusty-desktop-i386-smoke-health-check/ are all due to this issue.
The following is excerpts from cking's debugging of the failure:
"NetworkManager does not show this issue when no connections are made old
connections are re-established. Only new connections since reboot seem
to trigger this.
The large mmap is a bit ridiculous, it's either the heap (via
malloc/free) or glib memory allocator being a bit generous in the way it
requests more memory for the heap or network manager itself doing a
large mmap request (which I think is very unlikely).
The good news is that the memory is mapped but not all used, so there is
little actual physical demand for these mapped in pages. Even so, I
think it may be worth somebody with NetworkManager experience to dig in
deeper to see why and where this allocation is occurring as a medium/low
bug.
To reproduce this issue:
1. Clean boot
2. Wait until existing network connections are established (e.g. wifi)
3. Run health-check on Network Manager
4. Make a new connection, e.g. plug in ethernet connection for an
auto-ethernet connection to be established.
5. Stop health-check, observe that a huge allocation has occurred."
