CAP_8BIT of a task increasing

[gurucharank]

Hi,

Monitoring the heap and stack usage and printing runtime task heap allocation using esp_dump_per_task_heap_info from examples
Found that on every iteration the CAP_8BIT allocation is increasing. No Mallocs used anywhere in the code and still seeing memory increase.
Found the increase of other tasks too slightly increasing.
Why does the heap allocation spike during execution and is it any memory leak?

Regards,

Depends, what does your app do? It's known that using the WiFi/LWIP stack and handling connections can lead to a (not unbound) increase of allocated memory.
