I tried nouveau on a 630GT GF108 card (a fermi card) and linux 4.5. Every time I hibernate/resume, around 100MB of memory was disappearing. Doing systemctl isolate rescue.target was not recovering it. I was measuring the memory using 'free' command. At one point after a few hibernate/resume cycles, the memory leaked was around 500MB. I am back to the proprietary driver now. This memory leak (or whatever it is) doesn't happen there. I go back to 90MB at rescue.target there even after 10 hibernate cycles. The compositor used is gnome-shell under Xorg.
