Description
Hi Team,
We are continuously observing mlx stopped getting traffic on queues and cento is taking automatic restart due to kernel level OOM kill. I remember there was a bug which was causing memory leaks. Can you please help me out with this issue.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the cento.service OOM-kill logs and monitoring /opt/data/nProbe/temp/traffic_rate.txt, especially the mlx5_1@8 queue. Reproduce or correlate the stopped queue with memory growth and the automatic restart; done means identifying the leak or failure cause and confirming that cento no longer reaches an OOM kill.
