Hi,
We are running LXD containers to simulate several kinds of network clients. We launch the containers, run some tests and delete the containers. After couple runs of testing, the host has little available memory left.
I’ve tried to reproduce this issue, following are the reproduce steps:
-
Launch a VM using image ubuntu-minial:22.04
-
Login the Ubuntu VM
root@ubuntu:~# uname -a Linux ubuntu 5.15.0-1051-kvm #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 8 23:30:16 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux -
Record SUnreclaim
root@ubuntu:~# cat /proc/meminfo |grep SUn SUnreclaim: 92604 kB -
Launch a container using ubuntu-minimal:23.04
lxc launch ubuntu-minimal:23.04 test-container -
Delete the container
lxc delete test-container --force -
Check SUnreclaim
root@ubuntu:~# cat /proc/meminfo |grep SUn SUnreclaim: 93228 kB -
After each round of launch-delete, the SUnreclaim increases by ~500KB.
LXC information:
root@ubuntu:~# lxc info
config: {}
