Issue type
Memory leak
OS Version/build
Confirmed on two systems:
System1:
Linux stack03 4.4.0-72-generic #93-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 31 14:07:41 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Docker version 1.12.1, build 23cf638
System2:
Linux my_vm01 4.9.24-coreos #1 SMP Tue May 30 23:12:01 UTC 2017 x86_64 Intel(R) Core™ i7-4980HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Docker version 1.12.6, build d5236f0
Steps to reproduce
ID=$(docker run -d ubuntu sleep 1d)
while ! docker exec $ID foo; do echo “Ran”; done
Observe: Memory consumption of dockerd will keep going up until the system crashes (or the command is stopped).
Additional observation:
Running docker with debug will show an increasing amount of goroutines being allocated when running docker -D info, while exec commands are failing, as in this example:
