Do you still experience the issue? If so, could you run NetworkManager in valgrind? systemctl mask NetworkManager systemctl stop NetworkManager valgrind --leak-check=full NetworkManager --debug
I'm wondering if you could update to a more recent NetworkManager? We've fixed a couple of leaks before -- nothing as severe as you're indicating comes to my mind, but still. Picking NetworkManager from a newer distro should work just fine: # dnf --releasever=25 update NetworkManager Also, please describe you configuration -- what type of the connections do you have, how many devices, etc. Output of the following would be nice: # nmcli c # nmcli d # ip addr # ip route # ip -6 addr # ip -6 route Please reopen the bug when you're responding with more information.
Sorry for not responding before; in any case, I'm not seeing this problem in F26.
