It looks that way.  Didn't someone else report a sock_inode_cache leak?

Didn't see it.

I still got a copy of the /proc in case anybody wants more information.

We have this fancy new /proc/slab_allocators now, it might show something
interesting.  It needs CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK.

I didn't have that enabled unfortunately. I can try it on the next round.

There is also a new sysctl to drop caches. It is called vm.drop_caches.
It will be interesting to see if it is able to free up some dcache memory
for you.
