Name
i915_gem_evict_vm —
Evict all idle vmas from a vm
Synopsis
int i915_gem_evict_vm ( | struct i915_address_space * vm, |
| | bool do_idle); |
Arguments
vm
Address space to cleanse
do_idle
Boolean directing whether to idle first.
Description
This function evicts all idles vmas from a vm. If all unpinned vmas should be
evicted the do_idle needs to be set to true.
This is used by the execbuf code as a last-ditch effort to defragment the
address space.
To clarify
This is for freeing up virtual address space, not for freeing
memory in e.g. the shrinker.
