Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] drm/xe: Split the bo shrinker into purgeable and non-purgeable shrinkers
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 14:30:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008123024.38522-3-thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261008123024.38522-1-thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com>
Purgeable objects are reclaimed by simply discarding their pages, with
no writeback required. They are therefore much cheaper to shrink than
regular shrinkable (non-purgeable) objects, whose reclaim may need to
wait for the GPU or write dirty compressed contents back to a backup
store, and whose contents need to be read back on next use.
Split the single xe_shrinker into two independent struct shrinker
instances registered against the shrinker core, sharing the same
underlying accounting (shrinkable_pages, purgeable_pages,
populated_tts) and locking:
- A purgeable shrinker, whose count_objects() reports only
purgeable_pages, and whose scan_objects() only purges objects.
- A non-purgeable (shrinkable) shrinker, whose count_objects()
reports the shrinkable page count (capped by backup availability)
and whose scan_objects() shrinks non-purgeable objects, waking the
device via runtime PM as needed.
Express the cost difference to the shrinker core through the seeks
value: the purgeable shrinker keeps DEFAULT_SEEKS, while the
non-purgeable shrinker uses a higher value,
XE_SHRINKER_NON_PURGEABLE_SEEKS (8). The core scales each shrinker's
scan target inversely with seeks, so purgeable objects receive
proportionally more reclaim pressure than non-purgeable ones, without
one shrinker's behaviour depending on the other's state.
v3:
- Patch introduced. (Matt Brost)
