[Bug 1365250] [NEW] nova-compute memory leak

Public bug reported:

We found a symptom like memory leak of nova-compute.
Even though there are no activities of OpenStack, the heap of
nova-compute continuously grows as approximately 100KB/sec.

After running for a week the virtual space size of nova-compute
almost reached 2.5GB. The initial size was around 1.6GB.

Is this bug at upstream? And if this is bug, is there workaround or solution to avoid memory leak.
The following is detail information
