My hardware is SuperMicro X11SDV-8C-TP8F with Intel D-2146NT.
I've tested this issue with:
* Ubuntu 22.04 Kernel 5.15
* Ubuntu 22.04 Kernel 5.17
* Ubuntu 20.04 Kernel 5.15
* Ubuntu 20.04 Kernel 5.14
Using Ubuntu 20.04 with kernel 5.13 or lower will NOT trigger this issue.
The issue is that I have high RAM usage from the server startup I cannot explain.
At startup without any services active I have nearly 6GiB of RAM used:
```
# free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 15663 5998 8936 155 728 9213
Swap: 0 0 0
```
Using ps the sum of RSS memory does not adds up: it shows less than 1GiB used:
```
# ps aux | awk '{sum+=$6} END {print sum / 1024}'
944.879
```
This is the meminfo output
```
cat /proc/meminfo
