[ruby-core:82499] [Ruby trunk Bug#11174] threads memory leak

Issue #11174 has been updated by parhs (Gibon M).


I am having similar issue. Even calling open3.capture2 which uses threads results into 250mb of rss memory after a day. 2.3.4 and all 2.3.x.. ,2.4.x

Bug #11174: threads memory leak

* Author: cvss (Cyril Vechera)

* Target version: 
* ruby -v: 2.2.3, 2.2.0, 2.1.0, 2.0.0, 1.9.3
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
There's strong memory growth during intensive thread using. 

Script to demonstrate the problem (on x86_64-linux):

~~~
loop {
	10.times { 1000.times.map { Thread.new { } }.each(&:join) }
	GC.start # not necessary, just to be sure
	puts File.open('/proc/self/status').grep(/VmRSS:/).first
}
~~~

Running this script shows RSS growing from 45 Mb at the start time to 700 Mb after few minutes.

~~~
$ ruby thread_memleak4.rb
VmRSS:     45036 kB
VmRSS:     66748 kB
VmRSS:     87024 kB
...
VmRSS:    678052 kB
