Hi, 4.1.y stable commit c5ad33184354260be6d05de57e46a5498692f6d6 (Upstream commit 8f182270dfec432e93fae14f9208a6b9af01009f) "mm/swap.c: flush lru pvecs on compound page arrival" in 4.1.28 introduces a memory leak. Simply running while sleep 0.1; do clear; free; done shows mem continuously going down, eventually system panics with no killable processes left. Using "unxz -t some.xz" instead of sleep brings system down within minutes. Kmemleak did not report anything. Bisect ended at named commit, and reverting only this commit is indeed sufficient to fix the leak. Swap partition on/off makes no difference. My set-up: i.MX6 (ARM Cortex-A9) dual-core, 2 GB RAM. Kernel sources are from git.freescale.com i.e. heavily modified by Freescale for i.MX SoCs, kernel.org stable patches up to 4.1.28 manually added. I tried to reproduce with vanilla 4.1.28, but that wouldn't boot at all on my hardware, hangs immediately after "Starting kernel", sorry. However there is not a single difference between Freescale and vanilla in the whole mm/ subdirectory, so I don't think it's i.MX-specific. I didn't cross-check with an x86 system (yet).
