Bug#660960: tight loop attempting to madvise(..., MADV_DONTNEED) locked memory

2012-07-31 Thread Aaro Koskinen
The madvice() busy loop will occur on all systems where page size is bigger than 4KB. From supported architectures, e.g. MIPS and SPARC suffer because of this. See e.g. http://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/2012/07/msg00043.html iceweasel is unusable on these platforms. :-( -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, em

Earlier messages in this bug-report thread indicated use of Flash would also trigger the madvise() madness. I'm "happy" (?) to report that visiting Flash-enabled web sites reliably triggers this condition on the Alpha platform for *all* releases of firefox/iceweasel after 9.0.1. Michael Cree gets

Package: iceweasel Version: 10.0.2-1 With the update to 10 I've been plagued by browser lockups and rabid CPU consumption. I've narrowed down how to reproduce it ... it requires a bit of setup though. First off, this is related to the way in which JACK clients lock their memory, and the use of t
