And apparently that doesn't happen with rc6. The problem is, there were no commits between rc6 and rc7 in drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/ or drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/. I'm CC'ing dri and some radeon devs anyway.

It's annoying to rely on order-5 allocation when you are debugging a memory leak issue. There should better be an order-0 fallback... > I'll try to repeat the process with the 4.2.0-rc6 kernel also. Hm I guess the memory stats for rc6 already rule out such high usage in ttm. In rc7 it might be interesting to know how the page owner stats change after you kill 1) the chrome/iceweasel processes, and then 2) the whole X. If the memory is recovered, it might be not a full leak, but something like insufficient shrinker response to memory pressure in the system.
