Good news on the custom -144 kernel you provided: root@jenkins-lon02-02-general-swarm-node-03:~# uname -r 4.15.0-144-generic

So from my end, this looks really good - is there anything else you'd like me to do or test, or is this good enough to pull them in for the -144 update? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1926081 Title: nr_writeback memory leak in kernel 4.15.0-137+ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1926081/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
