--- Comment #6 from Dave Witbrodt <dawitbro@sbcglobal.net> ---
I do not know how to interpret these findings.  I am not a developer, and work
with the few tools that I (sort of) know how to use much more slowly than
experienced developers would.  I ran out of time over the weekend, and will
have
to investigate further this coming weekend.

I have been trying to think of possible explanations:

    - could a later commit causes a similar (or identical)
      memory leak to the one caused by 4ac0533a?

    - is the problem really located somewhere else
      besides in the kernel DRM, such as in Mesa, with
      it being triggered by more than one kind of
      code change in the DRM?

I thought that the bisection would be conclusive, but the failure of the revert
attempts undermined my goal.  If no one demands that I bisect using one of the
drm-airlied branches, then I will try another custom branch which drops the
commit first causing the leak, and see if any later commits also cause a leak. 
(If a developer demands that I bisect an upstream branch, I'll do that
instead.)

Is there anything else I can do to be helpful at this point?

Can any of you confirm/reproduce this memory leak on your own systems?
