Package: nfs-kernel-server
Version: 1:1.0.10-6
Severity: important

On a busy NFS server, rpc.mountd starts to slowly eat a _lot_ of memory. I 
usually restart
it when the amount of memory reaches 1.6Gb (which is approx. 10% of the system 
memory).
This is after approx. 2 weeks of uptime.

This bug looks a lot like the bug described here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.nfs/13479/focus=13480

When I look at the /proc/<pid of rpc.mountd>/smaps, the memory is allocated to 
[heap]:

00512000-1eb07000 rw-p 00512000 00:00 0                                  [heap]
Size:            497620 kB
Rss:             497596 kB
Shared_Clean:         0 kB
Shared_Dirty:         0 kB
Private_Clean:        0 kB
Private_Dirty:   497596 kB


If this bug is already fixed in new upstream versions (didn't check), do you 
think it's 
possible to backport the fix to stable and ask for it's inclusion in a stable 
point release?

Greetings,

Rik
