I appear to have a rather big mem leak somewhere in kernel space. Every time I start & close X, 40-120mb of ram disappears into some limbo, so that it is shown as used but no process in ps/top claims it.
Since X causes it and symptoms point to kernel space, I guess this is DRM's fault. Anybody seen anything like this?
Hints on where to continue?
I'd file a bug report, but I'm really short on time now, no time to test git versions of anything. Also, there's nothing special in the logs, beside a message that the graphics card MTRR is not used (?).
Linux 2.6.30.5 x64, Radeon drm that comes with (1.30 I guess)
Xorg 1.6.1, xf86-radeon 6.11, Mesa 7.2 (user space is 32-bit)
Macbook Pro, Mobility Radeon X1600 128mb gddr3
