Hi,
just hit memory leak on xe module load & unload:
unreferenced object 0xffff88811b047d10 (size 16):
comm "modprobe", pid 1058, jiffies 4297578480

Issue was reproduced on PTL & BMG, booted with latest kernel from
drm-tip. Looks like fault was introduced in commit d4cd665c9
("drm/buddy: Separate clear and dirty free block trees"), since reverting it
makes the leak disappear. Also attached RFC patch, which at first
glance could fix the issue.
Added xe maintainers and the author to Cc.
BR,
Michał

Subject: [PATCH] drm/buddy: release free_trees array on buddy mm teardown

During initialization of DRM buddy memory manager at drm_buddy_init,
mm->free_trees array is allocated for both clear and dirty RB trees.
During cleanup happening at drm_buddy_fini it is never freed, leading to
memory leaks observed on xe module load & unload cycles.
Deallocate array for free trees when cleaning up buddy memory manager.
Fixes: d4cd665c ("drm/buddy: Separate clear and dirty free block trees")
