I am having the same issue. The /usr/lib/snapd/snapd memory usage grows very large and never releases. Here is what my application does:

1) In runtime attach volumes to the ubuntu server using the OpenStack cinder
2) run FIO test on each volume every 30 seconds
3) randomly detach volumes

the snapd grows too large that I get "[Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory" trying to run any application (even pkill) so the only option is rebooting the system. Even when I stop my application, the memory won't release unless reboot.

I am using FIO version: fio-2.2.10

Below is my ubuntu version (its 32 bit):
Distributor ID: Ubuntu

Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
