[Bug 11585] New: Memory leak

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11585

Summary: Memory leak
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.47.
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When i use wine to open Pro/Desktop, Flatout 2, San Andreas and other games it
makes the cache memory get bigger and bigger until it slows the computer.
The cache percentage never drops.
It appears that wine is leaking to the cache

The kernel controls the size of the cache, Wine can't "leak" to it.

Can you periodically run:

ps -o user,cmd,rss,vsize -C appname

where appname is program you're trying to run, and see if memory usage is
actually going up?

Also, please upgrade to the latest version of Wine if possible.

@Cameron Tariq Cross
Could you describe it a little bit more how to reproduce this on San Andreas?

Could you have a look here (a bug which is about slowing down GTA:SA):
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10631#c12

How much time did you play until you got a slowdown?

I have tried ~30 minutes and got no slowdown. Also the used memory isn't so
much.

ps -o user,cmd,rss,vsize -C appname
USER     CMD                           RSS    VSZ
ricola   gta_sa.exe                  126084 3748420

The actually programs do not take up much space but a strange side effect is
that the cache memory size jumps up by up to 20%. After a few programs/games
being run the cache takes up the whole memory and the computer slows to
nothing. However the actual programs do not take up much memory

Sounds like a kernel bug. Report it to your distro support channel.
