core: Memory leak

The problem

In the last few days I have noticed a terrible memory leak. RAM usage in increasing at the rate of almost 1 mb per second. If I don’t restart every few hours, HA gets up into the GBs in memory usage and crashes.

I am not sure exactly when this started, but I keep HA pretty updated. I am currently on core-2021.3.4. Running in Docker on a Synology NAS.

I don’t see anything weird in the logs.

What is version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2021.3.4

This is fixed on dev (#47798). Can’t tell if it’s the root cause here, but can be related as it creates an infinite connect loop in an unpleasant way (see #47711).

I don’t think that the problem is related to Apple TV. I’m not using it and I have also problems with a memory leak. Downgrade to 2021.2.3 resolved that problem for now. HA is running in docker.
