AXIS memory leak == 2.8.0-pre1 was created by jCandlish

I woke this morning to a hung machine due to thrashing caused by a memory leak.

I see now with 'top' that the axis process is consuming memory.

This is with 2.8.0-pre1-2910-g2aaae01.

I tried going back to 2.7 but that is dumping core with:

rtapi_app: caught signal 11 - dumping core

How to proceed?

=======edit========

The leak consumes 10% of memory per hour on a 4G machine.

I would say that axis leaking major amounts of memory is unusual
( i have 2.8 test setups running axis for months on end 24/7 with no issues )

Do you have a very large gcode file loaded?
What is your system like otherwise (hardware/memory/OS etc) ?

Our posts crossed.

AXIS leaks at idle, with only the banner g-code loaded.

Weird, possible stretch or dependencies related?
( I notice Stretch is not officially supported so there could definitely be issues there )

I have 4 systems running axis 24/7, never noticed a memory leak
but I'm not running stretch or a 4.9 kernel

systems:

CoreDuo E8500 Ubuntu 16.04 4.1.xx kernel
CoreDuo E8500 Mint18.1 4.1.xx kernel
I5-3770 Mint18.1 4.4.xx kernel
N3355 Wheezy 4.1.xx kernel

also have run but not running currently
n3150 Mint 17 4.4.xx kernel
G3258_H97 Wheezy 4.1.xx kernel

I've run both 2.7 and 2.8 pre on all, never a axis memory leak issue

Debian wheezy, linux mint 17.3 64bit, linux mint 18.1 32bit.
No such problems, weeks at a time.
Those are all on production machines running all day every day.

All my other systems are Strech so going back to Jessie is a bit clunky.

I'll create a Jessie partition on this test machine tomorrow and see if the leak persists.

I do note that there have been leaks before. What has been the effective approach for squashing them?

LXDE, Google Chrome constantly connected to my drive and using cloud cad.
Running a four axis machine via parport on an old laptop with no issues to report as yet been on since 02-03-17.
I can't fault the software or the laptop only my skills in using them with the cnc.

Good luck, hope you get it sorted soon.

No such problems, weeks at a time.
Those are all on production machines running all day every day.

When you follow the beaten path the terrain is familiar.

Yes it is, although i have plenty more but not used daily. I still have 2 machimes that use ubuntu 10.04 with Linuxcnc in use for over 4 years, never fail, used daily but not all day and they are turned off every evening.
From experience, loooooong time ago, that type of "leak" can be caused by a bad memory controller.
Linux has processor load and system load, check the latter. If it goes often to 200, that is a sign of something wrong with sot or hardware.

Installing on Jessie appears to have resolved the memory leak. It must have been caused subtle dependency of package versions.

Running master-rt on Jessie requires a backported PREEMPT RT kernel, and backported glx and intel firmwares if your motherboard has an integrated intel graphics chipset.

backports snipped for /etc/apt/sources.list

# backports
deb http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib non-free
