Ah okay. It could be made like that yes.

I wasn't sure what would be more useful for drivers which support memory 
regions. To see how much memory file could be using worst case, or 
strictly how much it is currently using. So for buffer objects where 
userspace allows kernel to choose the region from a supplied list, I 
thought it would be useful to show that in total size against all 
possible regions.

In a way you see this driver /could/ be using 1G in vram and 1G in 
system, but currently it only has resident 1G in vram. Or you see 
another file which has 1G vram size and 1G resident size and you can 
infer some things.

Perhaps that can be confusing and it would be better to let total size 
migrate between regions at runtime as does resident and other 
categories. But then the total size per region would change at runtime 
influenced by other app activity (as driver is transparently migrating 
buffers between regions). Which can also be very confusing, it would 
appear as if the app is creating/freeing objects when it isn't.

Yeah I am not sure. My gut feeling was that stable "top level" size is 
the best option. Aka "this is how much this file could be using worst case".

If shared for file A can drop once file B closes the object it 
previously imported from A, I think that could be confusing. Because A 
did nothing - it is not suddenly using more private memory (hasn't 
allocated anything) nor has closed any shared memory objects.

And on a tangent, but what about shared vs private stats when we have 
userptr object created from shared memory? Core cannot really untangle 
those. Or the memory allocated for other than buffer objects as I argue 
in the cover letter.
