--- Comment #7 from Czcibor Bohusz-Dobosz czbd@o2.pl --- Created attachment 145288 --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=145288&action=edit DRM/Radeon glxgears memleak log
Took a while to perform some more tests, and it turns out that running glxgears with amdgpu also leaks memory - launching a hundred of glxgears instances leaks about 400 megabytes, only freed after they are killed and the caches are manually dropped with the command `echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches`.
Because glxgears does not need Vulkan support, it had also been possible for me to confirm that the massive persisting leak is definitely caused by the amdgpu driver - attached is a bcc memleak log of glxgears taken with the radeon driver.
On a side note, launching vkcube seems to leak memory with the described call at a very similar rate as well.
