Hi,

If you are using the drm-next-kmod from ports, don't upgrade your kernel 
beyond r323702 until the drm-next-kmod port has been updated. There are 
some changes planned for the LinuxKPI which can lead to memory leaks if 
you mix the versions together. Rebuilding the drm-next-kmod module is 
not enough to fix this. Possibly a FreeBSD kernel version check should 
be added to drm-next-kmod before building after the planned update.

Thank you for the attention.
