Memory usage skyrockets up to 90-95% after mininal GPU use.
So I recently got a new laptop for my school work and, as usually, went ahead with an arch installation.
My issue is that something (the kernel I suppose) is preventing memory from being freed, since total memory usage of all processes is way less than the total.
This seems to only happen when I use an application which makes use of the GPU (video playback, workspace switching with picom fade animations).
Bashtop reports 13.8 GiB of RAM being used in total, while only a few 2.8 GiB is actually in use by userspace.
uname -a output:
Linux semina 6.3.9-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed, 21 Jun 2023 20:46:20 +0000 x86_64 GNU/LinuxIt is not the disk cache, since memory usage by both the cache and processes does not amount to over 24000 MiB in use.

Re: Memory usage skyrockets up to 90-95% after mininal GPU use.

Stopping the graphical.target and dropping all caches seems to free the RAM for that user, same?

Stopping graphical.target didn't do anything (ly + shell initialization), so I simply switched to rescure.target.
Dropping the caches did free the memory for me.
Still, some memory (arround ~500 MiB) are still in use by the kernel, which I'm OK with.

Re: Memory usage skyrockets up to 90-95% after mininal GPU use.
Last week I started having similar issues on my work machine (running Intel Tiger Lake integrated graphics and X11) making it practically unusable. For example HW accelerated video playback in Firefox leads to rapidly increasing shared memory usage (increasing by almost 1GB/second) until OOM. Closing FF doesn't release the memory but going to systemctl rescue does.
Initially I thought downgrading mesa to 23.1.1 helped, but the problem reappeared on the next boot. I found this mesa ticket which may be related: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/9220
Edit: in my case this was caused by picom, killing the process frees up the memory again. picom-git seems to have fixed this issue. What fooled me is that this started happening all of the sudden without any updates or config changes to picom.

Re: Memory usage skyrockets up to 90-95% after mininal GPU use.
I've moved to wayland, and this is not longer an issue, so it is Xorg-specific.
I advise everyone who suffers from this problem to switch to wayland until it is solved (hopefully?).

"wayland" isn't a thing, what compositor.
Also please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General - the most interesting question is whether you're using xf86-video-amdgpu
