Subject: [PATCH] drm/xe: Defer buffer object shrinker write-backs and GPU waits
Date: Mon,  4 Aug 2025 10:10:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250804081040.2458-1-thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com> (raw)

When the xe buffer-object shrinker allows GPU waits and write-back,
(typically from kswapd), perform multilpe passes, skipping
subsequent passes if the shrinker number of scanned objects target
is reached.

1) Without GPU waits and write-back
2) Without write-back
3) With both GPU-waits and write-back

This is to avoid stalls and costly write- and readbacks unless they
are really necessary.

Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/xe/kernel/-/issues/5557#note_3035136
Fixes: 00c8efc3180f ("drm/xe: Add a shrinker for xe bos")
Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v6.15+
