TTM provides a means to assign eviction priorities to buffer object. This means that all buffer objects with a lower priority will be evicted first on memory pressure. Use this to make sure surfaces and in particular non-dirty surfaces are evicted first. Evicting in particular shaders, cotables and contexts imply a significant performance hit on vmwgfx, so make sure these resources are evicted last. Some buffer objects are sub-allocated in user-space which means we can have many resources attached to a single buffer object or resource. In that case the buffer object is given the highest priority of the attached resources. Signed-off-by: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@vmware.com> Reviewed-by: Deepak Rawat <drawat@vmware.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
