I didn't have this problem on Ubuntu 17.10 but i was still flooded with message about pci aer taking lots of disk space in the logs, but pci=noaer fixed this problem and i had no memory leak. The computer is a common laptop: HP Pavilion. # nogui boot, free memory reported at startup: total used free shared buff/cache available 8055940 239824 7335792 3256 480324 7567576 2097148 0 2097148 # after leaving overnight (user used 'free -m') 7867 6836 230 3 800 763 2047 0 2047 This will likely need a custom kernel build that enables DEBUG_MEMLEAK, see https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.18/dev- tools/kmemleak.html for how to make use of it.
