High memory usage after updating vulkan & mesa on Arch

Hey there,

not sure if this is really the problem but yesterday I updated my Arch (btw) system and today I tried to play via steam some games. I noticed that my system became really laggy after a game started (no matter what game). I inspected my pacman.log and searched for GPU/gaming related packages.

I identified these packages were upgraded:

mesa (1:23.1.5-1 -> 1:23.1.6-1) lib32-libva-mesa-driver (1:23.1.5-1 -> 1:23.1.6-1) lib32-mesa (1:23.1.5-1 -> 1:23.1.6-1) vulkan-radeon (1:23.1.5-1 -> 1:23.1.6-1) lib32-vulkan-radeon (1:23.1.5-1 -> 1:23.1.6-1) libva-mesa-driver (1:23.1.5-1 -> 1:23.1.6-1) opencl-clover-mesa (1:23.1.5-1 -> 1:23.1.6-1) opencl-rusticl-mesa (1:23.1.5-1 -> 1:23.1.6-1)

I am not a fan of downgrading packages but I didn’t see any other solution yet.

I downgraded the above packages back to 23.1.5-1 and my memory usage is as expected.

Leaving this here as possible quick fix, didn’t find anything yet on arch bugtrackers or something.

Someone struggling with the same issues?

Seems to be a memory leak bug, do not upgrade to mesa 23.1.6!
