Para Siva (psivaa) wrote : when a new connection occurs, NetworkManager mmaps 64Mb hunk which is equivalent to the 32.28Kb per second rate over a 1800 second (30 minute) run of heath-check

This is noticed during health-check's tests on trusty (mostly i386) ISO's.

The failed builds in https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Trusty/view/Smoke%20Testing/job/trusty-desktop-i386-smoke-health-check/ are all due to this issue.

NetworkManager does not show this issue when no connections are made old
connections are re-established. Only new connections since reboot seem
to trigger this.

To reproduce this issue:

1. Clean boot
2. Wait until existing network connections are established (e.g. wifi)
3. Run health-check on Network Manager
4. Make a new connection, e.g. plug in ethernet connection for an
auto-ethernet connection to be established.
5. Stop health-check, observe that a huge allocation has occurred.
