I think we should fallback to vmalloc or just use drm_malloc_ab in
here instead,
any reason we haven't?
I don't think so, see
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81991 . I didn't know
about drm_malloc_ab, that looks like the easiest fix indeed.
Mhm fixing this using another allocator function is probably a good
idea, but on the other hand why does X want to allocate an order 4/5 in
vm_get_bos in the first place?
Assuming 64 bytes per array element that would mean that we have over 1K
BOs for the address space handling. Even with the lowest settings on BO
size that covers something like 4GB of GPU address space and with normal
settings it is more something like 256GB...
So question here is why does X need so much GPU address space? The box
doesn't even have so much memory, doesn't it?
Cheers,
Christian.
