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
