E.g. maybe you want to give 50% of your vram to one cgroup, and the other 50% to the other cgroup. For that you need to know how much vram you have. And expecting people to lspci and then look at wikipedia for how much vram that chip should have (or something like that) isn't great. Hence 0.vram.total, 0.tt.total, and so on (also for all the other gpu minors ofc). For system memory we probably don't want to provide a total, since that's already a value that's easy to obtain from various sources. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ amd-gfx mailing list amd-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/amd-gfx
