kernel Memory Leak Issue

[Rangi, Jai]

All,

Here I have a little issue with System memory and Java application. We
have this java application that uses all the memory. If we shut down the
application the memory does not come back. The developer think that this
is bug in the Kernel. 

 

This is what I see on the server. 

 

[root at halapcnt4s ~]# ps aux | awk '{sum +=$4}; END {print sum}'

28.7

Total Memory % used. 

[root at halapcnt4s ~]# free -t -m

             total       used       free     shared    buffers
cached

Mem:         24108      24083         24          0         66
659

-/+ buffers/cache:      23358        750

Swap:         2047          0       2046

Total:       26155      24084       2071

According to this 23.3 Gb is used out of 24GB. 

29% of 24GB is 6.96GB. Now where is rest of (23.6-6.96) 16.34 GB memory
is used? 

Thank you,
