Please correct me if I'm wrong. One way to implement eviction/swap is like this: call validation on each buffers involved in a task, but this won't prevent it from eviction/swap when executing, so a GPU MMU fault may happen and in the handler we need to recover the buffer evicted/swapped. Another way is pin/unpin buffers evolved when task create/free. First way is better when memory load is low and second way is better when memory load is high. First way also need less memory. So I'd prefer first way but due to the GPU MMU fault HW op need reverse engineering, I have to pin all buffers now. After the HW op is clear, I can choose one way to implement.
