Few questions on VPP memory usage.

1. Using pmap -p <pid of vpp> i am collecting the total memory usage of vpp 
process at the beginning of my test. ( it is X KB )
2. I ran test for few hours which will obviously have lot of pool_get/pool_put
3. Collected the same same pmap output and the memory usage grown to X+Y
4. Cleared all my sessions which ideally should have cleared all my allocations.
5. I still see the memory usage being stuck at X+Y

I see that only pool_free is doing unmap of the memory, whereas pool_put is not 
doing so.
Could this be the reason why I am seeing memory not coming down.

Thanks & Regards,
Satish
