Quoting from it: @mm developers: feel free to ignore this, the user has Nvidia's driver loaded (see bugzilla; I'll ask to reproduce without it). Ciao, Thorsten >> Since 1st weak of Sept I have been observing memory leak in my system, so after doing a little big of digging I found out that the leak is caused by kmalloc. In Linux 6.5.3 memory leak would increase to nearly 50% of my ram over a period of 6-9 hours. In the Newer Linux 6.5.4 I am yet to observe that much memory leak(Haven't used my laptop for that long till now) but over a period of 3 hours I see 2.2GB reserved and it is not used by any program at all. this is just after 3 hours of usage on Linux 6.5.4. > > Later, the reporter (Cc'ed) narrowed down the version range, with > memory statistics: > >> 6.4 works fine I down graded to it before linux 6.5.4 was released. no memory leak. >> >> today i ran my laptop for 6 hours and 40 mins and this memory leak is still happening at same rate. >> >> total used free shared buff/cache available >> Mem: 15Gi 7.2Gi 2.8Gi 797Mi 6.4Gi 8.1Gi >> Swap: 0B 0B 0B >> Total: 15Gi 7.2Gi 2.8Gi > > See Bugzilla for the full thread. > > Anyway, I'm adding this regression to be tracked by regzbot: > > #regzbot introduced: v6.4..v6.5 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217943 > > Thanks. > > [1]: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217943 >
