[Bug 588293] [NEW] Memory leak

[Dick Tump]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

Ubuntu release: 10.04 LTS
Package version: 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9

There seems to be a huge memory leak in qemu/kvm 0.12.3. After a while,
a virtual machine is using much more memory on the host system, than
actually is in use on the guest system. A guest system with only 512 MB
assigned, can even use multiple GB's of memory.

This bug is also discussed here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=893831&aid=2989366&group_id=180599

Would it be possible to fix this bug in Ubuntu? It makes KVM a bit
useless currently, because running 2 GB of VM's can even cost 16 GB of
memory.
