Subject: SMP-related kernel memory leak
Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2008 12:00:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e2e108260802190300k5b0f60f6tbb4f54997caf4c4e@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I noticed that the amount of memory used by the Linux kernel steadily
increases over time on SMP systems (x86 architecture, 32-bit kernel).
This problem disappears when I add maxcpus=1 to the kernel command
line. I have observed this behavior both on the 2.6.22.18 and 2.6.24.2
kernels. Did anyone notice anything similar ?
