** Description changed: + + [ Impact ] + + gnome-shell has a memory leak, which causes the user's memory to be + gradually consumed after several days of gnome-shell being open with + some themes, even when no actual user-visible tasks are being performed. + + [ Test Plan ] + + 1. Install the White Sur theme from https://github.com/vinceliuice/WhiteSur-gtk-theme + 2. Enable the theme in Gnome Tweaks. + 3. Start tracking memory usage in a format that can be easily graphed. Include any data and graphing scripts used in your tests in this report. + 4. Keep gnome-shell open for 7 days, and keep the machine idle + 5. Save graph of memory usage + + Perform these steps on both an unpatched system and a patched system and + compare the results. + + [ Expected Behavior ] + + Memory utilization graph should be relatively flat at start and end of + experiment + + [ Actual Behavior ] + + Memory utilization graph increases roughly linearly with respect to time + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + This patch changes which memory management primitive is used in one + place, which could theoretically result in a user-visible crash if + improperly implemented. + + [ Other info ] + This is to track upstream bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/8509 which seems to be a regression starting in gnome-shell 46.0.
