Ok, re-reading the mail archive, it looks like the following commit is needed:
e3a746f5 xfs: really fix the cursor leak in xfs_alloc_ag_vextent_near I'll backport this commit and build another test kernel. -- 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/1327360 Title: xfs_btree_cur leak Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: There appears to be a kernel memory leak of xfs_btree_cur in recent Precise kernels (3.2.0-45 and -63 are affected, for sure). The slab can grow unbounded; we've seen it grow larger than 32GB via slabtop. The affected hosts have XFS mounted on / (root filesystem). We have another host running 3.2.0-38 in which we do not see this problem (it has a 37TB XFS filesystem mounted, but not on root). Upgrading to the latest 3.8.0-41 kernel via linux-generic-lts-raring seems to resolve the issue.
