Hey, guys:

I'm running a batch of CoreOS boxes, the lsb_release is:

```
# cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID="Container Linux by CoreOS"
DISTRIB_RELEASE=2303.3.0
DISTRIB_CODENAME="Rhyolite"
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Container Linux by CoreOS 2303.3.0 (Rhyolite)"
```

```
# uname -a
Linux cloud-worker-25 4.19.86-coreos #1 SMP Mon Dec 2 20:13:38 -00 2019
x86_64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2640 v2 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
```
Recently, I found my vms constently being killed due to OOM, and after
digging into the problem, I finally realized that the kernel is leaking
memory.

Here's my slabinfo:

These information shows that the 'iommu_iova' is the top memory consumer.
In order to optimize the network performence of Openstack virtual machines,
I enabled the vt-d feature in bios and sriov feature of Intel 82599 10G
NIC. I'm assuming this is the root cause of this issue.

Is there anything I can do to fix it?
