Symptom
The router reboots with memory allocation failure when a feature requests for more memory allocation from the system. This memory exhaustion is due to memory leak in the "qfp-ucode-utah" process. This memory leak can be monitored by monitoring the size of the "qfp-ucode-utah" process using the below CLI:
show platform software process list RP active sort memory | i ucode
Conditions
This memory leak in the "qfp-ucode-utah" process is associated with the deletion of IPSec tunnels.
After the IPSec tunnels are deleted a large number of times, the system will eventually run out of memory
and the router will restart when the system cannot allocate memory for any feature.
Workaround
reload to reclaim the memory
Further Problem Description
None.
