Bug 229321 – REGRESSION(r274166): [GTK] It broke run-javascriptcore-tests causing all tests to use lot of memory

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez]

The GTK JSC bot <https://build.webkit.org/#/builders/GTK-Linux-64-bit-Release-JS-Tests> has been failing for a long time, with crashes on all tests caused by two much memory usage.

Example:

basic-tests.yaml/stress-test.js.no-ftl: Running mandatory iteration #1:
basic-tests.yaml/stress-test.js.no-ftl: Crashing because current footprint: 633380864 exceeds limit: 629145600

I have bisected this and the cause is r274166, also I have double-checked that by reverting locally this commit the issue is fixed.

The problem can be easily reproduced with this command:

Tools/Scripts/run-javascriptcore-tests --gtk --release --memory-limit --verbose --no-testb3 --no-testapi 

Then almost all the JSC tests starts crashing due to trying to use more than the memory limit (which is 600 MB when passing --memory-limit) with a log like the above one.
Notes:
 - If you don't pass --memory-limit then your machine may crash due to OOM
 - Passing --no-testb3 and --no-testapi is needed to avoid also an OOM crash because the testb3 and testapi tests don't seem to honour the --memory-limit switch


The issue is not happening on WPE, only on GTK

Bug 222972 seems related

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

Let's revert then.

[Michael Catanzaro]

Alas. :(

Unfortunately there's no way I can debug something like this. It would need to be investigated by the JSC developers.
