There seems to be a memory leak in 2.6.0-test9. Before I go on I'll mention
that the box is running Debian sarge (testing), and the compiler is gcc 3.3.1.
A lot of memory is used (and eventually it will crash), but very little is in
cache or buffers. After shutting down zebra, postgresql, snmp and apache this
is what the system looked like. Notice the Slab-size in /proc/meminfo. I
don't know what slab is, but it's getting bigger... I think. It's not that
big after reboot anyway.
The memory gets used up after a few days of uptime, and when all memory is
used, the box eventually becomes unresponsive due to excessive swap use. Note
that this box doesn't do anything (almost). It's a workstation that's not in
use. It has the above mentioned daemons running (but unused) and also sshs
every 5 minutes to another box for mrtg graph stats. (rsa keys)
/proc/config.gz attached.
/proc/sysvipc/{sem,shm,msg} are empty.
I'll leave it running in case you want more info, but it will fill up all mem
and crash in a few days if it does what some other -test? did.
Sorry if it just looks like it will do the same, and this is all just normal
behavior.

The data from the /proc/slabinfo would be helpful in tracking down
which part of the kernel is using the memory.

Oh, I didn't notice that file. :-)
Recreating is just booting and waiting for a week, but the box is still up.
This is the line that stands out (complete file attached, 137 lines).

I seem to remember a changelog mentioning a leak being fixed in ipv6 code,
but it looks like there may be another one? The only ipv6 service running is
sshd, and the mrtg-sshs that go off every 5 minutes are NOT over ipv6.
netstat -na shows nothing interesting. Only the ssh I connect with uses a bit
of ipv6 (ffff:1.2.3.4). So, one listening socket, and one established.
$ cat /proc/net/sockstat6

Holger Kiehl found a similar leak somewhere in the ipv4 code, possibly
route.c. We couldn't nail the problem down yet and it could still be
inside a seperate device driver (GPL, outside of kernel tree).
Holger's problem is independent of the one found by the stanford
checker some weeks ago, so there seem to be or have been at least
three memory leaks in the network code. Could be a single developer
that is simply not careful enough wrt. resource leaks.
David, can you think of an easy way to find all of those leaks?
Easier than waiting for bug reports and hunting them one by one?
