Thanks for sharing the results. I made changes to fix one leak reported 
there wrt ' client_cbk_cache_invalidation' -
	- http://review.gluster.org/#/c/13232/

The other inode* related memory reported as lost is mainly (maybe) 
because fuse client process doesn't cleanup its memory (doesn't use 
fini()) while exiting the process.  Hence majority of those allocations 
are listed as lost. But most of the inodes should have got purged when 
we drop vfs cache. Did you do drop vfs cache before exiting the process?

I shall add some log statements and check that part

Thanks,
Soumya
