      The ManagedServerProxy class in the host-controller module contains a memory leak, which can be easily reproduced using the RBAC soak test, like so:

      cd wildfly-core # checkout WildFly Core 2.0.0.CR1, which is in EAP 7.0.0.DR10, or current master
mvn clean install -DskipTests
cd testsuite/domain
mvn clean test -Dts.noSmoke -Dts.domain -Prbac-soak -Djboss.test.rbac.soak.clients=100 -Djboss.test.rbac.soak.iterations=50

      After acquiring a heap dump (-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError), it's clear that out of the 512 MB of heap space a host controller has, more than 400 MB is taken by a single instance of the ManagedServerProxy class, specifically by its activeRequests field. This Map has a single entry whose value is a Set of "pending" futures. I added a couple of debug prints to the places where this Set is modified, only to see this:

      2015-09-21 12:32:00,704 INFO  [stdout] (management-handler-thread - 4) !!! added org.jboss.as.controller.remote.TransactionalProtocolClientImpl$1@142a1c24

      Skipping a few intermediate steps, the root cause is that AbstractDelegatingAsyncFuture delegates addListener directly to an underlying future, so the callbacks don't get the original instance, but the underlying one.
