Comment 38 for bug 1314787

Hi,

Just downgraded kernel 3-16 -> 3.14.39 and I followed GVS's instruction above.
And after that I installed
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-catalyst-omega-14.12-linux-run-installers.zip

See this Xorg process's memory comsumption:

nuhapumppu Desktop # uptime; pmap 1564 | grep total
 18:53:00 up 1:08, 2 users, load average: 1,07, 1,01, 1,14
 total 291664K
nuhapumppu Desktop # uptime; pmap 1564 | grep total
 19:02:55 up 1:18, 2 users, load average: 0,32, 0,33, 0,69
 total 291664K
nuhapumppu Desktop # uptime; pmap 1564 | grep total
 19:06:10 up 1:21, 2 users, load average: 0,24, 0,39, 0,65
 total 291664K
nuhapumppu Desktop # uptime; pmap 1564 | grep total
 19:26:15 up 1:41, 2 users, load average: 0,25, 0,30, 0,40
 total 326224K
nuhapumppu Desktop # uptime; pmap 1564 | grep total
 19:35:14 up 1:50, 2 users, load average: 0,74, 0,51, 0,44
 total 326224K
nuhapumppu Desktop # uptime; pmap 1564 | grep total
 20:03:14 up 2:18, 2 users, load average: 1,29, 1,13, 0,83
 total 326224K
nuhapumppu Desktop # uptime; pmap 1564 | grep total
 05:06:16 up 11:21, 2 users, load average: 0,05, 0,05, 0,05
 total 326224K

As you see, there is no memory at all. Uptime is over 11 hours.
This is kernel related issue definitely.
When huge Xorg memory leak was exist, the memory consumption was several GBs so far (11 hours)

So kernel 3.14.39 cured my system.
Need to know which kernel commit(s) fix this memory leak.
So I don't update kernel to 3.16 until this leak is fixed. I stay 3.14.xx branch.

Big thanks to GVS!!!
