Looking through old bug tickets... can you still reproduce this issue
with the latest version of QEMU and spice? Or could we close this ticket
nowadays?

Title:
memory leak/high memory usage with spice webdav feature
Status in QEMU:
Incomplete
Bug description:
This bug is being open due the comment:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91350#c9
Description of problem:
When copying big files from client to guest, the memory usage in the host
grows by about the size of the file. This is partially spice problem due the
memory pool being able to increase as much as necessary without a limit which
should be handled by the patches sent in the mailing list [0]
[0] http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-
devel/2015-August/021644.html
At the same time, massif shows high memory usage by qemu as well [1]

The file being shared was a 320M ogv video.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
QEMU emulator version 2.3.93
SPICE and SPICE-GTK: from git master
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1-) build spice-gtk with --enable-webdav=yes
2-) enable webdav in your VM by following:
https://elmarco.fedorapeople.org/manual.html#_folder_sharing
3-) using remote-viewer with webdav patches, connects to a fedora guest
4-) Open nautilus, go to 'Browse Network'
5-) On remote-viewer, enable shared folder by File > Preferences > [X] Share
folder
6-) The spice client folder should appear: Double-click to mount it.
7-) Check the memory of your qemu process
8-) Copy a big file (let's say, 300 MB) from the shared folder to local VM
9-) See the memory consumption of qemu grows by a lot;
Actual results:
Memory usage grows during copy and is not freed
Expected results:
Memory should have an upper limit to grow and should be freed after copy
