I recently started working with a TS-7000 board. Using the kernel
supplied in flash (2.4.26-ts11) and the rootfs supplied on CF, the
board appears to exhibit a memory leak. If I do the following:
ts7200:~# while true; do date; free; sleep 3600; done
I notice a definitive trend where used memory increases and free
memory decreases in 4KB chunks (or so) every 2-5 hours. Here are two
free outputs, about 46 hours apart:
total used free shared buffers cached
@hr 0 : 28572 15568 13304 0 788 8788
@hr 46: 28572 27052 1520 0 2512 9604
During this time window, buffers and cache increased by 2540K.
However, used memory increased 11484K, so the increase is not due
solely to buffers and cache. Comparing "ps -elw" output at hours 0
and 46 show that no user program appears to be leaking memory,
suggesting the memory leak may be in kernel or kernel module code.
Has anyone else seen this behavior, or can anyone else duplicate it?
All the best,
Steve
