Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drm/msm/gem: Add modparam to disable shrinker blocking
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 11:37:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903183725.15835-2-robin.clark@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903183725.15835-1-robin.clark@oss.qualcomm.com>
Normally if we are under enough memory pressure, the shrinker will
eventually start waiting for BOs to become idle. In some very latency
sensitive use-cases this is undesirable.
