Subject: [RFC v3 2/8] drm/xe/bo: Add purgeable bo state tracking and field madv to xe_bo
Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2025 10:00:46 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251210043112.3267620-3-arvind.yadav@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251210043112.3267620-1-arvind.yadav@intel.com>
Add infrastructure for tracking purgeable state of buffer objects.
This includes:
Introduce enum xe_madv_purgeable_state with three states:
- XE_MADV_PURGEABLE_WILLNEED (0): BO is needed and should not be
purged. This is the default state for all BOs.
- XE_MADV_PURGEABLE_DONTNEED (1): BO is not currently needed and
can be purged by the kernel under memory pressure to reclaim
resources. Only non-shared BOs can be marked as DONTNEED.
- XE_MADV_PURGEABLE_PURGED (2): BO has been purged by the kernel.
Accessing a purged BO results in error. Follows i915 semantics
where once purged, the BO remains permanently invalid ("once
purged, always purged").
Add atomic_t madv field to struct xe_bo for state tracking
of purgeable state across concurrent access paths
v2:
- Add xe_bo_is_purged() helper, improve state documentation
V3:
- Add the kernel doc(Matthew Brost)
- Add the new helpers xe_bo_madv_is_dontneed(Matthew Brost)
