Yeah, that was discussed over and over again. One big design criteria
is that we can't have global priorities from userspace!
The background here is that this can trivially be abused.
I see your point when apps are allowed to prioritize themselves above
other apps, and I agree that should probably be disallowed at least for
unprivileged apps.
Disallowing this is a pretty trivial change though, and I don't really
see the abuse potential in being able to downgrade your own priority?
Yeah, I know what you mean and I'm also leaning towards that
argumentation. But another good point is also that it doesn't actually
help.
For example when you have desktop apps fighting with a game, you
probably don't want to use static priorities, but rather evict the
apps which are inactive and keep the apps which are active in the
background.
Sadly things are not as simple as "evict everything from app 1, keep
everything from app 2 active". The simplest failure case of this is
games that already oversubscribe VRAM on their own. Keeping the whole
app inside VRAM is literally impossible there, and it helps a lot to
know which buffers the app is most happy with evicting.
In other words the priority just tells you which stuff from each app
to evict first, but not which app to globally throw out.
Yeah, but per-buffer priority system could do both of these.

What we can do is to have per process priorities, but that needs to be
in the VM subsystem.
That's also the reason why I personally think that the handling
shouldn't be inside TTM at all.

Christian.
