D. From: vpp-dev@lists.fd.io <vpp-dev@lists.fd.io> On Behalf Of Andreas Schultz Sent: Thursday, May 9, 2019 12:18 PM To: vpp-dev@lists.fd.io Subject: [vpp-dev] finding a virtual memory leak in VPP Hi, Something in VPP (most likely my UPF/GTP plugin) is causing an abnormal high virtual memory consumption. `show memory` without and with memory-trace enable can not explain it. With some 10k sessions I see as much as 1TB virtual memory usage, but only about 200MB or so residential memory. `show memory` also only reports about 200MB. My best guess is that something requests virtual memory pages from the OS and does not return them. Any hint on how to track this down? What in VPP could request that much virtual memory without actually using it? Many thanks Andreas -- -- Dipl.-Inform.
