Subject: [PATCH v5 1/9] drm/xe/uapi: Add UAPI support for purgeable buffer objects
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 20:56:30 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260211152644.1661165-2-arvind.yadav@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260211152644.1661165-1-arvind.yadav@intel.com>

From: Himal Prasad Ghimiray <himal.prasad.ghimiray@intel.com>

Extend the DRM_XE_MADVISE ioctl to support purgeable buffer object
management by adding DRM_XE_VMA_ATTR_PURGEABLE_STATE attribute type.

This allows userspace applications to provide memory usage hints to
the kernel for better memory management under pressure:

- WILLNEED: Buffer is needed and should not be purged. If the BO was
  previously purged, retained field returns 0 indicating backing store
  was lost (once purged, always purged semantics matching i915).

- DONTNEED: Buffer is not currently needed and may be purged by the
  kernel under memory pressure to free resources. Only applies to
  non-shared BOs.

The implementation includes a 'retained' output field (matching i915's
drm_i915_gem_madvise.retained) that indicates whether the BO's backing
store still exists (1) or has been purged (0).

v2:
  - Add PURGED state for read-only status, change ioctl to DRM_IOWR,
    add retained field for i915 compatibility

v3:
  - UAPI rule should not be changed (Matthew Brost)
  - Make 'retained' a userptr (Matthew Brost)

v4:
  - You cannot make this part of the union (purge_state_val) larger
    than the existing union (16 bytes). So just drop the '__u64 reserved'
    field. (Matt)

v5:
  - Update UAPI documentation to clarify retained must be initialized
    to 0(Thomas)
