Some more data point.. 1. I am not seeing this in 3.13.0-24-generic
2. Seeing this in 3.16.0-23-generic , 3.19.0-21-generic Could this be related to gcc 4.9.* ?

Hi, I am chasing a substantial memory leak in latest Hammer code base in the write path since yesterday and wanted to know if anybody else is also observing this or not. This is as simple as running a fio-rbd random_write workload in my single OSD server with say block size 16K and num_jobs = 8. I am seeing memory is increasing very substantially and eventually OSD stopped responding. I tried it on two different servers (just to make sure since I was playing with lot of kernel param of late), but results are similar. Digging down the code and short circuiting different layers, I got the following. 1. Seeing the nature of leak, it seems the entire transaction is leaking. 2. Code is deleting the transaction with a help of C_DeleteTransaction context and commenting out the following line and deleting the transaction (op_t) from submit_transaction(), seems resolved the leak. /*op_t->register_on_applied( new ObjectStore::C_DeleteTransaction(op_t));*/ 3. In my case, I short circuited the queue_transaction and that's why it is working, but in reality, we can't delete the transaction from submit_transaction(). Code seems to be doing proper way , but I am not able to find out yet why it is leaking memory during deleting it async way. Appreciate if anybody try out latest hammer building from source and confirm the behavior.
