[RFC 0/5] drm/i915: Interface to get GFX shmem usage stats per process

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series introduces a new gfx driver interface for tracking graphics
memory usage at per process level. This interface is currently needed by
android memtracker HAL and it can also be used with driver's shrinker
interface (see patch 5).

This feature was last floated to ML by Sourab and the discussion can be
viewed here-
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2014-September/051687.html
Two major comments that I could see here are
 1) Handling of cases where drm fd is shared across processes.
 2) Sysfs is probably not a right place for this. Debugfs would be more
    appropriate?

I have tried to address (1) by moving away from "per drm fd based object
accounting" to "per process based object accounting". With that, gfx
memory consumed by child process created by fork() gets accounted
separately from the parent process even though they share the same fd.

WIP on-
 - filesystem switch as mentioned in (2) above
 - some IGT failures observed with the series

I would like to get early reviews and feedback on this while I work on
above points.
