So a new msg started spamming dmesg very recently (sumwhere between 5.9.1 and 5.9.3) ;

It took a min but i believe this is coming from;
drivers/gpu/drm/msm/msm_gem_shrinker.c
I dont know how detrimental that message is but maybe changing line
pr_info_ratelimited("Purging %lu bytes\n", freed << PAGE_SHIFT);
to
pr_info_ratelimited("msm_gem_shrinker Purging %lu bytes\n", freed << PAGE_SHIFT);
would help identify issues
