Comment (by starlight): Reading this ticket and #28089 a potential concern comes to mind. In my experience the Linux kernel is fastidious in releasing skb memory when sockets close, which leads to the question: is an additional bug present in KIST where sockets are leaked? For kernel memory consumption to grow unbounded while the relay daemon continues to function correctly, a socket leak or stranding would appear necessary. I do not know this code and someone familiar with it would be in a better position to consider the possibility. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/27813#comment:29> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
