I did go through the heaptrack as well, what made me question whether it's
actually a driver bug though is twofold:

1. It's not a problem on Xorg
2. GNOME Wayland should use the same calls if it IS a Vulkan or OpenGL driver
implementation thing. So if that was the case GNOME's memory usage should go up
too. It does not however. So either there is a call being used or not being
that GNOME simply does not touch or it's something else.

Then again I'm not a programmer and this is just conjecture on my part. My
reasoning might be flawed.

As for it starting in 5.20.5 it could not swear on it, that was just when I
first took notice of it. Might have been introduced earlier than that.
