OK, it just that we started to upstream this driver since 2022.

Sure, this is absolutely necessary.

Without this I can't see how much buffer object has been created.

where they are(SYETEM, GTT or VRAM) and how much size it the buffer is.

When sharing buffer with other driver,   cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/bos

can be used to see that the shared buffer is pinned in the GTT.

We love you reviews,  yet...

yet using the TTM is pretty good.

drm_gem_vram_helper is also good for beginners.

We can explicitly specify where to put the bo with TTM,

We also need this to implement the S3 properly.

Thomas also recommend us switch to TTM.

Ok, I  will improve this function at the next version.

No, we need it.

In order to get a fine control, we need to know what the host is.
