Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] dma-buf/udmabuf: Introduce CONFIG_UDMABUF_SIZE_LIMIT_MBYTES
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2026 16:48:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260711144814.8205-1-robert.mader@collabora.com> (raw)
As udmabuf increasingly enjoys popularity - being used in projects like
libcamera, Gstreamer, Mesa and KWin - users more frequently encounter
cases where the current default size limit of 64MB is too low. Examples
include allocating video buffers at a 8K resolution - and even 4K is
affected when using non-subsampled video formats or high bit depths.
While the limit can already be changed via the kernel command line,
exposing it as a kernel config makes that easier and more discoverable
for distros. Thus let's do that.
