[PATCH] drm/virtio: expose GEM memory statistics through fdinfo

From: shechenglong

Date: Tue Sep 22 2026 - 05:50:32 EST


virtio-gpu does not expose per-client GEM memory usage through DRM
fdinfo, leaving monitoring tools unable to account for buffers owned by a
client.

Wire up the DRM fdinfo helpers and use drm_show_memory_stats() to report
the standard drm-total-memory, drm-shared-memory and drm-active-memory
fields for GEM objects referenced by each DRM file.

Tested on a QEMU/KVM guest with virtio-gpu. After running:

modetest -M virtio_gpu -s 40:1024x768

the DRM file descriptor of the modetest process shows the following in
/proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd>:

drm-driver: virtio_gpu
drm-client-id: 8
drm-pdev: 0000:00:02.0
drm-total-memory: 3 MiB
drm-shared-memory: 3 MiB
