Is there any chance we could get a bug fix release (2.4.2) out including this fix, in the near future? We could always compile from source but it would be great if there would be an "official" fix release including this. > > Thanks in advance. This fix for this issue was backported [1] and released in 2.4.2 [2] [1] https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/01cfae3beb0b649ca2ae879825349cf0330a3549 [2] https://github.com/ruby/ruby/compare/v2_4_1...v2_4_2 ---------------------------------------- Bug #13772: Memory leak recycling stacks for threads in 2.4.1 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13772#change-66664 * Author: sam.saffron (Sam Saffron) * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ko1 (Koichi Sasada) * Target version: * ruby -v: 2.4.1 * Backport: 2.2: DONTNEED, 2.3: DONTNEED, 2.4: DONE ---------------------------------------- Per: https://github.com/rest-client/rest-client/issues/611 gem install rest-client ``` 100000.times.each_slice(32) do |slice| slice.map { Thread.new { RestClient.get('echo.jsontest.com/key/value/one/two') } }.each(&:join) GC.start(full_mark: true, immediate_sweep: true) slots = GC.stat[:heap_live_slots] puts "slots #{slots} #{i+=1} threads #{Thread.list.count}" end ``` Causes unbound memory growth on 2.4.1, this was not the case in earlier versions of Ruby or Ruby master. When running through heaptrack and massif-visualizer it looks like all unreclaimed allocations come from thread_recycle_stack Ruby heaps do not grow during tests, all the growth is around unmanaged memory. I feel getting this sorted is urgent, we have seen similar leaks at Discourse. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
