Linux kernel source tree
7e9c548d37
GPUs typically benefit from contiguous memory via reduced TLB pressure and improved caching performance, where the maximum size of contiguous block which adds a performance benefit is related to hardware design. TTM pool allocator by default tries (hard) to allocate up to the system MAX_PAGE_ORDER blocks. This varies by the CPU platform and can also be configured via Kconfig. If that limit was set to be higher than the GPU can make an extra use of, lets allow the individual drivers to let TTM know over which allocation order can the pool allocator afford to make a little bit less effort with. We implement this by disabling direct reclaim for those allocations, which reduces the allocation latency and lowers the demands on the page allocator, in cases where expending this effort is not critical for the GPU in question.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
