We have seen this for many months now. The only workaround we have found is, as mentioned, to reboot when memory is reaching a crash.
The release below did not work. "Processes that open and close multiple files may end up setting this oo_last_closed_stid without freeing what was previously pointed to. This can result in a major leak, visible for example by watching the nfsd4_stateids line of /proc/slabinfo" This micro machine on ec2 will soon crash. We don't have that many files on nfs and mostly read from it. We also load a few large files when processes start (700 mb or so, read once). uname -a Linux ip-10-48-5-128 3.2.0-36-virtual #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 8 22:04:49 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux OBJS ACTIVE USE OBJ SIZE SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME 855315 855315 100% 0.53K 57021 15 456168K idr_layer_cache 55040 55040 100% 0.02K 215 256 860K kmalloc-16 Is there any way to solve this on the client side by changing how read/write operations are done? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1047566 Title: Memory leaks when using NFS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/1047566/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
