Gnome keyring daemon eating all my system resources

Last few updates I have this strange problem - gnome-keyring-daemon throttles one CPU thread always up to 100% and eats almost 5 GiB of RAM. After some time (10min?) is the process normalized and CPU is again at normal state, but the memory ist still full of keyring. Any idea what went wrong? What logs do I have to upload so you can help me with this problem. Thank you

Re: Gnome keyring daemon eating all my system resources

This is unbelievable.. after reboot I ran only Chromium browser. After few minutes the gnome-keyring-daemon started eating CPU and memory. After 32min uptime keyring CPU thread 100% up and memory almost 4 gigs.. Does anyone have the same problem?
I tried the same with Opera and there was no problem.. It looks like it has something to do with Chromium..

@5ulo,

please don't paste full sized images: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … s_and_code.

As for the problem, do you see anything in your journal when the problem starts happening?

Re: Gnome keyring daemon eating all my system resources

Two months passed.. two months full of system updates and Chromium updates and the "memory leak" is still here.. is there any info how to prevent to grow the memory for gnome-keyring-daemon while Chromium is running?
Thanks

Re: Gnome keyring daemon eating all my system resources

sometimes it is 300 MB and sometimes it is up to 4GB of memory. If I reboot and use only firefox, the memory is good. At this time I am running chrome with

chromium --password-store=basic

which doesn't run gnome-keyring-daemon.. so my memory is for now but this isn't workaround for me :-/
