            Bug ID: 11911
           Summary: systemd v240 memory leak in systemd-journald
                    (buildroot 2019.02 LTS affected)
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2019.02.2
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
          Reporter: jonah at sense.com
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

There has been a fix to a large memory leak in systemd-journald v240.  I
believe that the buildroot LTS versions is affected.  Should the patch provided
in the bug report be applied to the LTS branch?

Bug report: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/11502
Accepted patch: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/11527

Alternatively, this fix has been incorporated into systemd v241, which has been
incorporated into buildroot's master branch already.  So another solution would
be to move buildroot LTS to use systemd v241.

--- Comment #2 from Jonah <jonah@sense.com> ---
The upstream patch didn't apply cleanly to v240.  I'm happy to look into it
more, but it wasn't as trivial as "git cherry-pick" and I was not sure whether
anyone has a preference for v241 verses an unofficial patch on v240.

--- Comment #3 from Arnout Vandecappelle <arnout@mind.be> ---
There are way too many changes between v240 and v241 to just bump the version
in the stable branch. So please backport the patch, thanks.

Actually, I think it's sufficient to take commit 2d5d2e0cc5 in addition to
eb1ec489ee.
