No idea; can you grab /proc/slabinfo and /proc/meminfo every minute or
so until it oom kills trinity?  Maybe that will give us a hint of at
least where the memory is getting consumed.

It could be the extent status tree cache, for which the need for a
better shrinker is a known bug that we're working on, but that's just
a wild guess.

Thanks,
