How to tell a Function to remove buffers in inference cases?

1

I am writing a custom module in which the Function will process the input and create buffers in Function scope to hold the processed data for backpropagation.
During the evaluation/test/inference phase of the model, I see that the memory usage keeps on increasing for the model. I am not sure about the reason.

I have the below questions:

  1. Whether the reason could be: Since the backpropagation is not done during inference, the buffers in the Function are not deallocated?
  2. How long the ‘Function’ created in the custom ‘Module’ be in memory? Is it until the backpropagation?
  3. I want to remove the buffer data in ‘Function’ during inference cases. Is there any way to achieve this?
