• [6.12.8] Enabling IPv6 privacy extensions uses huge amounts of RAM

    Recently, I have been dealing with very high RAM usage on my Unraid server, without a clear cause to pin it down to. When all my docker containers and VMs are running, I'm getting as high as 28 out of 32 GBs of RAM. After shutting down all containers and VMs and disabling both docker and VM support in settings, the system still reports 20GB used:

      

    root@home-server:~# free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            30Gi        20Gi       9.1Gi       652Mi       1.1Gi       9.1Gi
Swap:             0B          0B          0B

     

    As this shows, it's not memory cache causing it, as the RAM is reported as actually used. Accounting for 4GB of ZFS arc, this left around 16GB used only for the OS and some plugins, which I found to be quite strange.

    So I ran  

    ps aux | awk '{print $6/1024 " MB\t\t" $11}' | sort -n

    to get memory usage by process. This was its output (note it sorts from smallest to biggest, output is truncated at the beginning; in spoiler because of length):

    The OS spawned a huge amount of of `dhcpcd

    processes. Since they all take about 4-5MB of RAM, this had severe impact on free RAM. Running `free -h` again after disabling the feature yielded the following result:

      

                   total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            30Gi       3.7Gi        26Gi       652Mi       848Mi        26Gi
Swap:             0B          0B          0B

     

    This is much more in line with what I would expect. I don't know exactly why enabling IPv6 privacy extensions causes this, or if it is even expected behaviour (in this case users maybe should be warned about the resource impact), but I thought I'd report it since it took me a while to find the issue and maybe it will help someone else.
