Huge memory leak problem on application on RHEL 5.11 guest OS on VMware ESXi 5.5

Hi,

We have a critical problem on our product behavior on VMware. Our product can be deployed RHEL 5.11 on Red Hat-KVM and VMware ESXi 5.5. The product includes kernel module and the module uses more Linux SLAB memory(14GB of 16GB) in second model.


We generated vmcore and ran it with debug enabled kernel. We found something but not find issues; the module frees memory after jobs are finished. We are working reproduce the problem on Red Hat-KVM. But system engineering team says the problem was not seen on guest on Red Hat-KVM.


Is that a VMware specific problem? Is that make sense?
