The entire story is to better explain Android system memory usage.
They fit together so that the dma-bufs overlap can be removed.
Android GPU vendors have integrated this tracepoint to track gpu
memory usage total(mapped into the gpu address space), which consists
of below:
(1) directly allocated via physical page allocator
(2) imported external memory backed by dma-bufs
(3) allocated exportable memory backed by dma-bufs
Our Android kernel team is leading the other side of effort to help
remove the dma-bufs overlap(those mapped into a gpu device) as a joint
effort, so that we can accurately explain the memory usage of the
entire Android system.
For virtio-gpu, since that's used by our reference platform
Cuttlefish(Cloud Android), we have to integrate the same tracepoint as
well to enforce the use of this tracepoint and the eBPF stuff built on
top to support runtime query of gpu memory on production devices. For
virtio-gpu at this moment, we only want to track GEM allocations since
PRIME import is currently not supported/used in Cuttlefish. That's all
we are doing in this small patch.
Best,
Yiwei
