so far my opinion is that given the testcase presented, 2G ram is certainly insufficient memory for both mysqld and the OS.

I'm managing a huge mysql shared hosting plattform with ~ 3.5mio databases and having servers with around 2k databases mostly serving apps like wordpress, joomla and so on. Currentl we're planning on migrating from 5.5 to 5.7 but this bug definetly is a regression as MySQL 5.5 is not affected. I'm running a select on information_schema.tables once a day to get an inventory of data_free, data_length, index_length for each database. This query results in 70k to 100k rows and after a few days mysql will run out of memory and crash. This will absolutely stop us from using mysql 5.7 in a large scale.

Btw I'm using 5.7.26 and this is still persisting.

Thanks for this report so that I can easily reproduce an OOM just by `select * from information_schema.tables`. I did some explaination base on my investigation in https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=83047

Description: Running a query (on Information _Schema.tables (where clause) to exclude system schema, showing memory growing eventually Out-of-memory. Number of table entries around 20,000 (40 databases with 500 tables for each db) mysql -uroot -h127.0.0.1 -e "select concat_ws('|',ifnull(TABLE_SCHEMA,''),ifnull(TABLE_NAME,''),ifnull(ENGINE,''),ifnull(TABLE_ROWS,'0'),ifnull(DATA_LENGTH,'0'), ifnull(INDEX_LENGTH,'0'),ifnull(DATA_FREE,'0'), ifnull(TABLE_COLLATION,''),ifnull(CREATE_TIME,''), ifnull(UPDATE_TIME,'')) from information_schema.TABLES where TABLE_SCHEMA not in ('mysql','test','information_schema','performance_schema','sys');" How to repeat: Please refer to attached document. table_definition_cache=10000 table_open_cache =10000 innodb_open_files=10000 open_files_limit=10000 run the sql query every second and record the memory growing from OS and the mysqld. mysql -uroot -h127.0.0.1 -e "select concat_ws('|',ifnull(TABLE_SCHEMA,''),ifnull(TABLE_NAME,''),ifnull(ENGINE,''),ifnull(TABLE_ROWS,'0'),ifnull(DATA_LENGTH,'0'), ifnull(INDEX_LENGTH,'0'),ifnull(DATA_FREE,'0'), ifnull(TABLE_COLLATION,''),ifnull(CREATE_TIME,''), ifnull(UPDATE_TIME,'')) from information_schema.TABLES where TABLE_SCHEMA not in ('mysql','test','information_schema','performance_schema','sys');" Suggested fix: No idea but the memory is growing.
