Hallo Michi, first of all, thank you for your answer. * On Sat, Jan 22, 2011 at 08:18:05AM +0100 Michael Blizek wrote: > On 21:54 Fri 21 Jan , Spiro Trikaliotis wrote: > - Does this also happen, if you do not call PromiscuousMode_Enter? Yes, it does. In fact, I only included it in my minimal example so the memory leak happens faster, in case someone wants to give it a try himself. > - Which user grows is /proc/slabinfo?

The objects which have changed the most on a mildly loaded network are: 25000 buffer_head 5000 dentry 5000 ext3_inode_cache 5000 size-64 The number if the number of more active object after approx. 20h of letting it run on the mildly loaded network. Note that the ext3_inode_cache might have grown because I was regularly writing a new log file from slabinfo (slabinfo --once > slabinfo.`date +...`) Thus, I would expect I am leaking buffer_head. > - Which kernel version are you using? Have you tried different versions? I am running this on a Debian Lenny (32 bit), Kernel 2.6.26-2-686, and an Ubuntu 10.04, also 32 bit. Unfortunately this machine is currently out of my reach, but I think it is a variant of 2.6.32 or 2.6.33. Both kernels are from the distribution, that is, no vanilla kernels.
