Dear David-san Naush-san

I got reproduce the symptom and got the dmseg as attached.

It would be great if it will be your help to solve the issue.

Hi all,

I did try a long running test, and interestingly, mine did also fail at around the 15hour mark (approx 1540000 frames).  My qcam process (running under gdb) was just terminated at that point.  However, no reboot occurred.  Looking at the dmesg logs, it seems that the Out of Memory killer terminated the task.  This suggests that there is maybe a memory leak lurking somewhere in either libcamera core or the Raspberry Pi ipa/pipeline handler.

Nomura-san, could you send us the output of dmesg when you run into this failure again, just to check if we are seeing the same thing?

Thanks,
Naush
