Source: curl Source-Version: 7.64.0-2 Severity: serious Control: affects -1 rtorrent
Hi! I've started noticing rtorrent busy-looping at some points after finishing a torrent. stracing and gdb'ing the process it was doing that in its main loop, spamming on gettimeofday() and epoll_wait(). Checking the rtorrent dependencies I've not seen much suspicious updated recently, except for curl. I checked then the upstream bug trackers and noticed quite many instances of "100% cpu usage" reports, such as <https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/issues/580>. And that one points to old and new curl issue. The last instance of it appears to have been fixed with <https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/4015fae> in 7.64.1. So I think curl should be either upgraded to that release, or the relevant commits cherry-picked. Thanks, Guillem
