[Bug 1496773] Re: Dbus-daemon-system-fork on ota6 is using large amounts of CPU

 

Thanks Dave for this info. Also, I checked with Dave on IRC that PID
2522 (from which the request starts) is account-polld:

    phablet   2522  0.0  1.4 934112 14176 ?        Ssl  Sep09   9:38
/usr/bin/account-polld

online-accounts-service tries to create a trusted session having PID 2522 as initiatior, but since account-polld has no window associated with it, mir cannot create the trust session.
I think there are two problems here:
1) when talking to signond, account-polld should set the "UiPolicy" parameter to 2 (aka NoUserInteractionPolicy), so that we won't try to open a trust session for it.
2) account-polld should not continuosly retry authenticating if the previous attempt just failed.

** No longer affects: sync-monitor (Ubuntu)

** Also affects: account-polld (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided

Title:
  Dbus-daemon-system-fork on ota6 is using large amounts of CPU

Status in Canonical System Image:
  New
Status in account-polld package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  STEPS:
  1. Install ota6
  2. Use the phone as a phone don't let it run out of battery power
  3. Uptime for me nearly 8 days and the system become unusable

  EXPECTED:
  I expect the system to always run smoothly with 0 apps open

  ACTUAL:
  Tapping the power button to wake the device seemingly does nothing, Tap it again and the welcome screen appears and disappears.  Tap it again and it appears as normal, Start using apps, the apps will suddenly stall (Note not crash just stall).

  
  RESULTS:
  I opened up top
  User message+  dbus-daemon-system-fork is bouncing from 2.4% cpu, to 40-60% cpu, to 98-102% cpu.  This is the only high cpu utilising app after an hour watching.

  Memory on device is at a minimum too.  As can be seen here
  http://paste.ubuntu.com/12436034/ this system has no app open.

  Logs: I have included the entire .cache/upstart folder and syslog.
