[PATCH v2 37/39] drm/i915: document struct drm_i915_gem_object

Wed Jul 13 08:12:25 UTC 2022


This is a large struct used to describe gem objects. It is
currently partially documented. Finish its documentation, filling
the gaps from git logs.

+	 * %I915_BO_ALLOC_USER:
+	 *	Make sure the object is cleared before any user access.
+	 * %I915_BO_ALLOC_PM_VOLATILE:
+	 *	Object is allowed to lose its contents on suspend / resume,
+	 *	even if pinned
+	 * %I915_BO_ALLOC_PM_EARLY:
+	 *	Object needs to be restored early using memcpy during resume

+	 *	User has created protected. All protected objects and
+	 *	contexts will be considered invalid when the PXP session
