There is a check in the memory cache code that checks if a record pointer points to the mmapped region . But since some time ago, we return not a pointer to the mmapped region itself, but a copy to avoid issues with invalidating an entry while the same entry is being returned.

In most cases, the check is correct, simply because of how memory is laid out on Linux, but in some cases the check was failing and causing a high load of SSSD.
