** Description changed:

  Hey, i got a memory leak on Ubuntu 18.04.2 even in console mode (no X/GUI) 
the memory usage grows slowly to take all the available RAM when i let the 
computer running over the night (with just top and irssi), and i have to reboot 
to get things back to normal. I didn't have this problem on Ubuntu 17.10 but i 
was still flooded with message about pci aer taking lots of disk space in the 
logs, but pci=noaer fixed this problem and i had no memory leak.
  The computer is a common laptop: HP Pavilion.

  This will likely need a custom kernel build that enables DEBUG_MEMLEAK,
  see https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.18/dev-tools/kmemleak.html for
  how to make use of it.
