Hi, I have been noticing this leak for a few weeks now. I typically update to the latest snapshot every 10-14 days and Xorg memory usage grows monotonically in the meantime. I was gathering some data for a report, but thanks to this thread it's explained now. I look forward to testing the fix. I also have the iris driver.

Thanks for this comment! Now I know what to look for. On my system running for 3 days it is already over 32,000. Regards, Anindya
