Subject: Re: [Bug 50181] New: Memory usage doubles after more then 20 hours of uptime.
Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2012 08:44:51 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <50AA6203.4010407@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <50A6D357.3070103@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

I managed to reproduce this on a second machine.  The new system ran
basically all weekend doing kernel compiles: no leak.  But, I added some
memory pressure, and made it start allocating a bunch of hugetlbfs
pages.  That made this bug kick in there too.  It's somewhat hard to
tell, but I _think_ the leaking is correlated with compaction activity.

I'm trying a bisect now.
