Sorry, there's a leak indeed. The memory was leaking all the time and I tried to run command `echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches`, it didn't help.
But when I delete the log files which was created by the failed systemd service, the leak(cached) memory was released.
I suspect the leak is relevant to the inode objects.
