[package_daemon] high memory usage after package activation

[diver]

This is hrev57380 x86_64 on VMware Fusion.

package_daemon is using more than 100MB after installing golang

Only that package, not other transactions? Anything notable in syslog?

[diver]

Activating any large package (with many files) triggers this, just tried with a few otheres. Nothing worthy in syslog, just the usual

KERN: package_daemon: [36844112:  1706] Volume::_PackagesEntryCreated("openjdk17_jre-17.0.7.3-2-x86_64.hpkg")
KERN: package_daemon: [40074625:  1706] CommitTransactionHandler::_ChangePackageActivation(): activating 1, deactivating 0 packages

KERN: unknown: [40079733:  1706] package "openjdk17_jre-17.0.7.3-2-x86_64.hpkg" activated

Rebooting cuts down memory usage.

Can you try and capture a leak_analyser trace of package_daemon?

[diver]

According to /bin/leak_analyser.sh one need to first generate leaks file like this:

LD_PRELOAD=libroot_debug.so MALLOC_DEBUG=es50 /system/servers/package_daemon > file

However, it crashes package_daemon:

IIRC it's a known problem with openssl

[diver]

After update to openssl3 it doesn't crash anymore. However, after stopping package_daemon with launch_roster and starting it again with:

LD_PRELOAD=libroot_debug.so MALLOC_DEBUG=es50 /system/servers/package_daemon > file

Nothing is ever being written to the file. Interestingly, in one Haiku install (VMware Fusion) dragging even a small hpkg file to /system/packages makes Haiku go out of memory within 30 seconds. While on another install (also VMware but on linux) memory usage doesn't go above 150MB even with libroot_debug.

Is it related to installed packages perhaps?

[diver]

Still an issue as of hrev58228.
