if I block mem request from ffmpeg I get crash

The crash was fixed in 16e52c86, the allocation is 4,779,403,502 bytes) and there are mem-leaks with rbsp_buffer.

Replying to cehoyos:

Replying to ami_stuff:

if I block mem request from ffmpeg I get crash

The crash was fixed in 16e52c86

Could you try to reproduce the crash again with this "ulimit" tool? It still crashes for me with below command line when I block mem request (git head):

ffmpeg -cpuflags 0 -i h264.avi

If it doesn't crash for you I will compile new build soon to get a backtrace.

Which version crashes for you / could you provide a backtrace?

these two, but they are not mine, so no debug symbols

Summary: h264: huge memory allocation and a memleak, possible race condition → h264: huge memory allocation and a memleak

I cannot reproduce the race condition anymore, valgrind still reports a 6M memleak and >3.5G memory allocation.

comment:9 by Carl Eugen Hoyos, 12 years ago

No memory leak with -threads 1. (Memory allocation varies, the following run was stopped early.)

comment:10 by Michael Niedermayer, 12 years ago

huge memory allocations can be prevented by limiting through -max_alloc X.
While its possible in specific cases to more intelligently prevent huge allocations, this is not true in general, one can always encounter a file that stores a 8000x8000 yuv 4:4:4 16bit video that needs 16 frame buffers.

comment:12 by Carl Eugen Hoyos, 12 years ago

Several identical allocations (the biggest) happen in av_image_alloc() for images with a resolution of 20000x4000, this could happen in valid streams, more such allocations happen if threads > 1.
The memleak with threads > 1 is still reproducible.

just tested this and got crash with:

ffmpeg -max_alloc 199900 -i h264.avi

could you try to reproduce?

Replying to ami_stuff:

just tested this and got crash with:

ffmpeg -max_alloc 199900 -i h264.avi

Should be fixed, thank you for the report!

comment:16 by Michael Niedermayer, 11 years ago

This ticket talks about many different issues, memleaks, several crashes. If some issues remain, please open seperate ticket(s) for them and ill look at them. As is, with just this ticket i dont know where to start or what if any issues remains.
