gnome-shell memory leak with nvidia GPU memory
Hi,
I know that gnome-shell has a memory leak but I do not know if the existing reports also cover the memory leak on the graphics card. That is the issue here: GPU memory leak.
I am checking the GPU memory consumption of my GTX 1050 Ti with nvidia-smi. When I first login to gnome the used memory is around 100 MiB. When I just start and exit darktable repeatedly for a while, the memory consumtion is persitently going up by ca. 30 MiB per darktable start/exit. The result is that at some point darktable has not enough "headroom" anymore to use opencl which has a significant performance impact to darktable. I have checked the same scenario with plasma5 and it is not showing the same memory increase.
I am using Manjaro Testing, kernel 4.16.11 with gnome-shell 3.28 and nvidia 1:396.24-4
