Something is wrong with drm/i915 (I guess). I had a terrible memleak on Xorg
when using mplayer using more and more RAM, and then the system is swapping
itself to death.
I'm using a openSUSE 13.1 (x86_64) on a Baytrail J1900 (this is Intel HD
Gen7).
Thank you for reporting, Thomas. Can you please confirm that this is
actually a regression in 3.16.7-ckt4 (i.e., that you can't reproduce
it in 3.16.7-ckt3)? If so, is it possible to bisecting it?
3.16.7-ckt3 was fine for me.
I tried to revert the drm/i915 patches in the review branch, and I got
lucky with (only) reverting cb58c663d940a "drm/i915: Disallow pin ioctl
completely for kms drivers".
No clue, why reverting these few lines helps, but then I have no memleak.
Thomas
