Description Marcello Blancasio 2019-02-15 15:26:58 UTC

Using Gnome 3.28 (CentOS 7.6) with llvmpipe driver, Mesa 18.0, but same problem exists with Gnome 3.30 (Ubuntu 18.10), Mesa 18.2.

Opened a Gnome Terminal window.

New shared memory segments are created every time the terminal window is resized (found it with: ipcs -m | wc -l).

It looks XShmAttach() is called in src/glx/drisw_glx.c:XCreateDrawable(), but XShmDetach() is never called. Should it be called in XDestroyDrawable()?

I believe this recent patch should help:

Can you try top-of-tree Mesa?

And it appears this patch will be in the Mesa 19.0 release.

The patch fixed the issue. Thank you.
