[Xen-devel] possible memory leak involved with hvm domU''s
On changeset 10480:f91cc71173c55f18280b12e6732d9e7509d208be and other, earlier changesets, I''ve been seeing some behavior that looks like a memory leak. I''ve been working on xend and restarting it frequently. I''ve been using a debian sarge domU from freeoszoo. The dom0 free memory appears to go from about 150M to around 4M or less after keeping up the modify xend, restart it, start and stop the domU various times routine. Can anyone reproduce? Thanks for your help! Andrew _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

If not, can you account for the missing memory -- is it in Xend itself or is it just that there are HVM helper processes lying around?
