[Gluster-devel] [Gluster-users] Possible memory leak ?

[haiwei.xie-soulinfo]

hi,
   We meet memory leak in 3.4.0 & sambavfs. 
   With mounting cifs, our application runs,'VIRT' of smbd process will increase untill oom-kill. 
using 'fsync/sync' or 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches' can't resolve it. With mounting fuse, no memory leaks.

   I guess fuse API or samba-gluster-vfs  has bug, any advise?
   Thanks,
