Title:
Possible memory leak due to PCI AER faults even with pci=noaer
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Hey, i got a memory leak on Ubuntu 18.04.2 even in console mode (no X/GUI)
the memory usage grows slowly to take all the available RAM when i let the
computer running over the night (with just top and irssi), and i have to reboot
to get things back to normal. 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

# after leaving overnight (user used 'free -m')

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.
