Aha - using Mellanox’s OFED packaging seems to essentially (if not 100%) fixed
the issue. There still appears to be some small leak, but it’s of order 1 GB,
not 10s of GB, and it doesn’t grow continuously. And on later runs of the
same code it doesn’t grow any further, so whatever the kernel memory is being
used for and not released, it can at least be used again for the same purpose.
Thanks for the nudge to check out this option. Do you happen to know how the
installer handles kernel updates? Is it at all automated, or do I need to
rerun the installer to build new kernel modules each time?
thanks,
Noam
