[E1000-devel] High memory usage / memory missing i40e 2.1.26

[Wim <wim...@gm...>]

Since upgrading a couple of servers to i40e 2.1.26 (running kernel 4.4.88
or 4.4.89), those servers seem to be missing huge amounts of memory.

KiB Mem : 65850708 total,  8111932 free, 55976356 used,  1762420 buff/cache

versus a normal system with in kernel driver (1.3.46-k) or an older
version 2.0.26
(same issue on different NVM if that should matter, nvm 4.53 and 6.0.1)

KiB Mem : 65850708 total, 62916672 free,  1868436 used,  1065600 buff/cache

Downgrading those systems to the older version also fixes the missing
memory.

If you need me to do any debug, let me know.
