To clarify: we have about 200-300 containers running simultaneously, and
the average lifetime of a single container is 2-10 mins; the network
interfaces are also destroyed when the container goes down. So, in a
specific point in time, we have about 200-300 network interfaces, and
they're created and destroyed dynamicly (with lxc-start and lxc-stop).
strace'ing only mmap and unmap for init (-p 1) you can see, that memory
is mapped for EVERY event, but only parts of it are unmapped:
[pid 3058] 08:43:07.444810 mmap(NULL, 677, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 11, 0) =
0x7ffe40a7e000

We do not have any custom upstart jobs, so only /etc/init/network-
interface*.conf are run. We have also machines, where init uses more
resources (after creating/destroying about 200K containers) :
1 root 20 0 978m 951m 1360 S 77 0.7 3410:06 /sbin/init
it uses more, and more with every event served - and no, the memory is
NOT freed after shutting down every container. Also, after some time,
init uses almost one core (77% above), and it gets sluggish -i takes
more time to serve new events. The only way for us right now, is to
reboot the machine.
