hello anmelle, thanks for confirmation. you may also apply that fix (i.e. comment #4 ) to JP-6.2/r36.4.3 as well. FYI, that patch of fence leak has check-in to rel-36 code-line, please expect next JP-6 public release (i.e. JP-6.2.1/r36.5.0) will include that fix.

Currently it’s JetPack 6.1 (r36.4.0).

Please disregard my previous post: I wasn’t replacing the right kernel module after rebuilding. It’s host1x-fence.ko rather than host1x.ko.

After replacing host1x-fence.ko, I can confirm the kernel memory leak is fixed.
