[Intel-gfx] Regarding report amount of usable graphics memory

[Zhang, Jianhong]

Hi Daniel,

I'm working on a sighting that filed by PCCG. It complains that "Memory usable by graphics device = 2048M" even TOLUD is 1.5GB.
>From the formula, looks like it shouldn't affected by TOLUD size, but I need the confirmation to resolve the sighting as expected.

Best regards,
Jianhong

Hi Daniel,


1.       On Harris Beach, we always see this report as below even we set different TOLUD size, such as1GB, 1.5GB, 2GB and 3GB :

[drm] Memory usable by graphics device = 2048M

       2.   Based on the implementation below, it shouldn't matter with TOLUD size.
             DRM_INFO("Memory Usable by graphics device = %dM\n", dev_priv->mm.gtt->gtt_total_entries >> 8);

Please confirm if this is the case:
If RAM is 4GB, it will report 2048M as the usable memory by graphics device.
This is the max size that graphics could use,  and it shouldn't change based on TOLUD size.

Yeah. But the real question is what do you need this for exactly? Also, cc'ing relevant internal mailing lists.
