Public bug reported:
When Chromium is running (but otherwise idle!), there is NFS traffic
between my workstation and the NFS server here. On the order of 24000
packets per second. Several tens of packets, OK. several hundreds: mwah.
But this is outrageous.
When strace-ing the chrome process I see:
poll([{fd=11, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN}, {fd=31, events=POLLIN},
{fd=32, events=POLLIN}, {fd=137, events=POLLIN}], 5, 0) = 0 (Timeout)
recvmsg(31, {msg_namelen=0}, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
recvmsg(31, {msg_namelen=0}, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
recvmsg(32, {msg_namelen=0}, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
recvmsg(32, {msg_namelen=0}, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
recvmsg(32, {msg_namelen=0}, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
It uses poll to wait for events... and then gets informed: A timeout
occurred, no filedescriptors are ready and then STILL Tries to read from
fd 31 and 32. Furthermore, the process seems to specify a 0 timeout as
quite often I see the poll call return in about 20-50 microseconds.
The process that is doing this shows as:
/snap/chromium/1284/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome --no-default-
browser-check --no-first-run --password-store

3) I expect chromium to use little to no resources (CPU, network) when I'm not
actively using it. (asking for small memory footprint is not currently
realistic).
4)_ Chromium seems to do something that requires NFS traffic.
