there is a scheduling balance issue about get node like:
a. process A allocates full memory and use it for submission.
b. process B tries to allocates memory, will wait for process A BO idle in eviction. c. process A completes the job, process B eviction will put process A BO node, but in the meantime, process C is comming to allocate BO, whill directly get node successfully, and do submission,
process B will again wait for process C BO idle.
d. repeat the above setps, process B could be delayed much more.

add a mutex to gerantee the allocation sequence for same domain. But there is a possibility that visible vram could be evicted to invisilbe, the tricky is they are same domain manager, so which needs a special handling.

I think this is a good approach, however there are two things that IMO needs fixing. [...]

Thinking a bit more about this, the end result would be that typical "C" processes would get an unfair amount of GPU scheduling.
Isn't it actually a scheduler's task outside of TTM to mitigate this?

Yes, exactly the reason why I rejected this. I actually considered moving the whole evicting to a background workitem.

Ah,I should've read up on the following emails, Sorry about that.

Thanks,
Thomas
