Hi guys,
one thing you don't seem to have considered yet is that not setting the
top-down flag also won't get you the bottom-up approach, but rather the
best fit.
Kind of unrelated: Would it pick the smallest free area that can hold a
BO? IOW, would a small cursor BO fill up a small free area even if
there's a much larger free area somewhere?
Yes, exactly that.
The bottom-up method searches for the lowest hole which can fit the
requirements.
The top-down method searches for the highest hole which can fit the
requirements.
Both of those walk the holes by the address index tree, but there is
also the best method which looks at the holes by their size and tries to
find the best fit.
The best method usually only needs a single tree walk instead of a
linear search.

But cursor BOs are small, so they don't make much of a difference. What
is needed is space for 2 primary framebuffers during pageflips, with one
of them pinned. The other framebuffer can be located anywhere.
The problem isn't the size. The problem is dynamically allocated cursor
BOs can also fragment vram, especially if top-bottom allocation is also
used for large framebuffers so cursor BOs can end up somewhere in the
middle of vram.
Well maybe instead of a ping/pong approach between top and bottom use a
size based approach to place small BOs at the top and only the larger
ones at the bottom (or the other way around).
That's what the current code does and it results in the OOM. Basically,
there's a large BO in the middle of vram and the pageflip's destination
BO does not fit before or after the large one.
Tough problem. No idea how to otherwise fix this without making the
large BO moveable somehow.
Christian.
Best regards
Thomas
