Description

With the following configuration, the storage server running only turbo-cache got OOM killed even though it has 16Gb of storage after running for ~4 days. Not sure if there's a memory leak somewhere in the recent code?

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by reproducing the provided memory-store configuration and profiling the server over several days to distinguish fragmentation from a leak. Done means identifying the cause and demonstrating that the configuration no longer leads to unbounded memory growth or an OOM kill.
