Unfortunately "apport-collect 1516738" does not work because I don't have a web browser accessible.
I've run "apport-bug linux-generic-lts-trusty" instead an attached the created file. Please note, that the machine is currently running with 3.13.0-57 because I had do downgrade; 3.13.0-68 is installed however. Let me know if the apport-bug has to be run with 3.13.0-68; it would take so time to find a quiet slot where I can reboot the machine. ** Attachment added: "apport-bug linux-generic-lts-trusty" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-lts-trusty/+bug/1516738/+attachment/4529118/+files/apport.linux-generic-lts-trusty.tIFedQ.apport ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1516738 Title: Kernel memory leak introduced with 14.04 kernel when used with squid3 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-meta-lts-trusty package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS running in a Hyper-V VM for several years. Since I updated the system a few days ago to Linux 3.13.0-68-generic x86_64, the machine hangs with out of memory after about 2 days of uptime. (occurred several times) With the kernel from July (3.13.0-4?-generic x86_64 or 3.13.0-5? - I don't remember) there was no problem running the machine several month without interruption. I'm currently monitoring /proc/meminfo and /proc/slabinfo and can sea a steady increase of Slab in meminfo. I also have a second VM without showing the problem. The VM with the leak is used as internet router and firewall. Two things apply to the VM the the other does not have: - vsftpd is running, some files are downloaded from the machine every few minutes to hours. - there is a "tcpdump -i eth0 -s 65535 -C 100 -W 1000000000 -w /somefile" running all the time. The attached zip file contains the hourly logs of /proc/meminfo and /proc/slabinfo; *_151115_171444 are the first files after the last reboot.
