Subject: [PATCH v2 03/33] drm/ttm: Record sub-optimal page order allocations in ttm_tt
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 14:54:12 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710215442.2444235-4-matthew.brost@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710215442.2444235-1-matthew.brost@intel.com>
When __ttm_pool_alloc() fails to allocate a chunk at the device's
beneficial order and falls back to a smaller order, the object ends up
backed by a sub-optimal set of pages. Nothing currently records this, so
a driver has no way to know an object would benefit from being re-backed
with beneficial-order pages later.
Add TTM_TT_FLAG_BENEFICIAL_ORDER_FAILED to struct ttm_tt page_flags,
cleared at the start of every fresh allocation (in both ttm_pool_alloc()
and ttm_pool_restore_and_alloc()). Set it in __ttm_pool_alloc() when an
allocation at exactly the beneficial order fails before dropping to a
lower order.
Drivers can use this hint to queue the buffer object for later
defragmentation.
