I agree that being able to prioritise allocation to HW functions is good, but it is not that hard to write an eviction + migration pass - given that we already have large chunks of that written. The only issue is that (at least the sketch I have in mind) will only evict objects so if we have fragmentation caused by HW functions, allocations can still fail. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
