GTT is a driver private acronym, right? And it doesn't look like
TTM_PL_FLAG_TEMPORARY will be used in core TTM, so should we instead
set
aside a mask in the PL flag for driver-private use?
Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your comments and advice, GTT means Graphics Translation
Table here, seems
a general acronym. TTM_PL_FLAG_TEMPORARY may also be used by other
drives.
I have made other patches for this. Please help review.

My point was really that the flag naming and documentation should
reflect what core ttm is doing with that flag. If there is no specific
core TTM usage, IMO we should move it to a driver specific flag to
avoid future confusion. In particular a writer of a generic TTM
resource manager should be able to know without looking at an old
commit message what the placement flag is intended for.
So here we add a flag where core TTM forces a bo move on validate and
that's it. And that appears to be how it's used when an amdgpu bo is
evicted to GTT, (btw should it be accounted in this situation?)
The other use is to force the amdgpu driver to temporarily accept it
into GTT when there is a lack of space, and IMHO that's a driver
specific use and we should allocate a mask for driver specific flags
for that.
So shouldn't this be two flags, really?
Well one flag makes sense for the use case at hand that drivers want to
signal to TTM that an allocation is only temporary and not considered valid.
That we then use this flag to implement temporary GTT allocations to
avoid problems during eviction is just extending that use case.
Christian.
TTM_PL_FLAG_FORCE_MOVE
and
AMDGPU_PL_FLAG_TEMPORARY
Thanks,
