Bug Description
Similar to bug 1570466 but a different root cause.
It was identified that memory leaked on continuously adding/removing vhost_user ports in openvswitch-dpdk.
See the other bug for reproduction suggestion.
Fortunately for this bug a fix is already upstream in the openvswitch 2.5 branch.
In particulr for this bug we need:
d9df7b920683163
But there are more critical ones related to openvswitch-dpdk:

I understand we generally wait for the 2.5.1 release which will get some extra test and checks, but I hope that shouldn't be too far away.
So please merge the 2.5.1 point release of openvswitch as soon as available to fix this issue.
FYI - we agreed to discuss the availability and approach to upload the point release when we meet in approx 1.5 week.
Crossing fingers that it gets release until then.
