Apmd memory and swap grows over time

Hi folks.

Do you ever meet problem with apmd memory and swap usage?

I think i faced with bug Opened: Feb 23, 2022 but still no workaround presented on bug page.

Maybe you fixed same problem somehow? Please share any workaround possible.

"Apmd memory grows over time. It is not a memory leak. It is mainly due to memory fragmentation due to memory sharing among apmd threads."

Sometimes oom kill cause node reboot and failover. Sometime it free 10% memory but then it grow again.
