https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=894339 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=894339#c0 Summary: Firefox causes frequent disk fsync - systems slowness Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 13.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: klaussfreire(a)gmail.com QAContact: qa-bugs(a)suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 Firefox, under some conditions, keeps updating its cache in /home/<user>/.firefox, and keeps updating its database there. The problem is that in doing so it keeps issuing frequent fsync calls, slowing down the whole system. iotop shows firefox [Cache I/O] and firefox [mozStorage #n] top users quite frequently (cache I/O more frequently than mozStorage). They're probably to blame that it also shows [jbd2/dm-n-n] very high in disk usage as well. Not sure which update or which page triggers it, but I've been keeping open facebook, youtube, slashdot, gmail and amazon's ec2 console. The system is using an LVM-based setup (hence the dm device), with root using ext3, and home using ext4. Both use options relatime,data=ordered. I'm not sure this is a firefox bug or a filesystem thing. It didn't use to happen a little while ago (seems to have come or gotten worse with some update, not sure which). Firefox is fsync-ing a file that seems to hold only a flag (perhaps a dirty flag), so it shouldn't be strainful on the filesystem (yet it is, apparently). Sample strace of the firefox [Cache I/O] process showing the fsync: futex(0x7f5f578727ac, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 10969, NULL) = 0 futex(0x7f5f57872748, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0 lseek(48, 4694016, SEEK_SET) = 4694016 read(48, "\0\1\0\23\222\0G`\0\0\0\3T\3\230qT\2p\274T\f\255)\0\0b\211\0\0\0^"..., 768) = 768 futex(0x7f5f65f379bc, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PRIVATE, 1, 2147483647, 0x7f5f65f37958, 1902) = 1 write(23, "\372", 1) = 1 futex(0x7f5f578727ac, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 10971, NULL) = 0 futex(0x7f5f57872748, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0 lseek(48, 4694016, SEEK_SET) = 4694016 write(48, "\0\1\0\23\222\0G`\0\0\0\4T\3\233\31T\2p\274T\f\255)\0\0b\211\0\0\0^"..., 579) = 579 lseek(45, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0 write(45, "0", 1) = 1 fsync(45) = 0 futex(0x7f5f578727ac, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 10973, NULL) = 0 futex(0x7f5f57872748, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0 lseek(45, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0 write(45, "1", 1) = 1 fsync(45) = 0 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch firefox 2. Launch afforementioned pages (gmail, facebook, youtube, slashdot, amazon ec2 console if possible) 3. Wait for a while, let it build up on-disk changes 4. Do anything I/O-intensive, see how thoghput is notoriously decreased by keeping firefox open. Example: build something with make -j4 5. Shut down firefox, note it going back to normal. Actual Results: Low I/O thoughput on the fsync'd partition (home) Expected Results: Normal I/O thoughput on the fsync'd partition (home) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 890082] New: Upower 0.99 doesn't trigger pm-utils /etc/pm/power.d scripts anymore

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=890082 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=890082#c0 Summary: Upower 0.99 doesn't trigger pm-utils /etc/pm/power.d scripts anymore Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 201408* Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 13.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: thardeck(a)suse.com QAContact: qa-bugs(a)suse.de CC: hrvoje.senjan(a)gmail.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- I am running current Factory and it is working great. The only regression I have found is that my /etc/pm/power.d script to activate powersave functions isn't triggered anymore if the ac adapter state has changed. After debugging it, it seems that this functionality was removed from upower 0.99. If I downgrade upower to the version from 13.1 it is working again. In the release notes of 0.99 the following is mentioned: "This version contains major API changes. Use the 0.9.* versions if you want to keep using the old API." So I would suggest to downgrade to 0.9.23 again for now unless you know a replacement to call the pm-util scripts or a general one for pm-utils. I haven't tested the suspend scripts but they might be also affected. I mean it is not hard to write a udev rule to call theses scripts but this wouldn't be really user friendly I suppose. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Your Bugzilla bug list needs attention.

[This e-mail has been automatically generated.] You have one or more bugs assigned to you in the Bugzilla bug tracking system (http://bugzilla.novell.com/) that require attention. All of these bugs are in the NEW orREOPENED state, and have not been touched in 7 days or more. You need to take a look at them, and decide on an initial action. Generally, this means one of three things: (1) You decide this bug is really quick to deal with (like, it's INVALID), and so you get rid of it immediately. (2) You decide the bug doesn't belong to you, and you reassign it to someone else. (Hint: if you don't know who to reassign it to, make sure that the Component field seems reasonable, and then use the "Reassign bug to default assignee of selected component" option.) (3) You decide the bug belongs to you, but you can't solve it this moment. Just use the "Accept bug" command. To get a list of all NEW/REOPENED bugs, you can use this URL (bookmark it if you like!): http://bugzilla.novell.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=REOPENED&a… Or, you can use the general query page, at http://bugzilla.novell.com/query.cgi Appended below are the individual URLs to get to all of your NEW bugs that haven't been touched for 7 days or more. You will get this message once a week until you've dealt with these bugs!
