Public bug reported:
Upgrading from 20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu3.6 to
20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu3.7 caused the memory usage for a GMail tab
in Firefox to go from 300-400 MB to 3 GB. I saw a similar large increase
in memory usage in Chromium.
I suspect some bug is being triggered in the Intel driver/Mesa stack?
Reverting to 20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu3.6 fixes the problem. I tested
back and forth multiple times to confirm that it really was the linux-
firmware upgrade that caused the issue.
This is on a Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6th gen with an Intel HD Graphics 620
GPU running up-to-date jammy.
