This should prevent buffer moves when the threshold is reached during

For the APU case I *think* this works, but for discrete I am not sure yet.

As a side note and disclaimer, the TTM "resource compatible" logic has a half-life of about one week in my brain until I need to almost re-figure it all out. I don't know if it just me, but I find it really non-intuitive and almost like double, triple, or even quadruple negation way of thinking about things.

It is not helping that with this proposal you set threshold on just one of the possible object placements which further increases the asymmetry. For me intuitive thing would be that thresholds apply to the act of changing the current placement directly. Not indirectly via playing with one of the placement flags dynamically.

Anyway, lets see.. So you set TTM_PL_FLAG_MOVE_THRESHOLD and TTM_PL_FLAG_FALLBACK on the GTT placement, with the logic that it will be considered compatible while under the migration budget?

(Side note, the fact both flags are set I also find very difficult to mentally model.)

Say a buffer was evicted to GTT already. What then brings it back to VRAM?

The first subsequent ttm_bo_validate pass (!evicting) says GTT is fine (applicable) while ctx->bytes_moved < ctx->move_threshold, no? Isn't that the opposite of what would be required and causes nothing to be migrated back in? What am I missing?

Tvrtko
