Public bug reported: 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. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1327360 Title: xfs_btree_cur leak To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1327360/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
