To conclude here, a suggestion would be,
1) Could we separate the semantics of the "Preferred" flag. Perhaps
creating yet another one.
first flag: "Retry this placement even if bo is in a valid placement"
second flag: "Don't use this placement if it would cause an eviction"
(Retain old semantics)
Although I think the first flag behaviour can be easily implemented with
a driver specific xxx_bo_validate(), I'm not against having that in TTM
as well.
2) Please keep the old behaviour of the eviction flags? Meaning even for
eviction we have preferred and fallback placements. It comes in handy
when pipelining (always evicting to SYSTEM requires syncing), and if
opportunistically trying to evict to other VRAM memory types on
multi-tile. I see no easy way to otherwise hook into TTM to implement
that if the behaviour is changed as suggested.
