Bug Description
init and upstart-udev-bridge leak a lot of memory after starting a lot of containers.
init's memory usage grows steadily and ends up using about 80% CPU when it's using ~250 MB of RAM. upstart-udev-bridge uses about 1 GB of RAM.
The Ubuntu version is 12.04 with the lts trusty kernel. The system is fully updated as of today.
expected behaviour:
init's memory usage should remain stable, not grow over time
upstart-udev-bridge should use less than 40 MB of RAM
