I am running my linux box as a bridge. The kernel version is 2.6.18-3 I have enabled bridge-netfilter and iptables. I am seeing a memory leak in the slab "size-64", even when I have not set any iptables rules. If I dont enable the bridge-netfilter and iptables kernel options then there is no memory leak in bridge mode. Is there any patch known to fix this memory leak? Appreciate any inputs on this.
2.6.18-3 ? Is that really a dash? Is that a Red Hat kernel? If so it's very, very old, probably RHEL5 beta.
If it is the RHEL5 kernel then it was released on 2007-01-16 and you really should be using something newer, if only to pick up the security fixes. The slab leak bug was fixed long ago.
