[PATCH v8 4/4] Documentation/gpu: Add fdinfo meanings of panthor-*-memory tags
From: Adrián Larumbe
Date: Tue Jan 14 2025 - 12:35:59 EST
A previous commit enabled display of driver-internal kernel BO sizes
through the device file's fdinfo interface.
Expand the description of the relevant driver-specific key:value pairs
with the definitions of the new panthor-*-memory ones.

+Possible `panthor-*-memory` keys are: `active` and `resident`.
+These values convey the sizes of the internal driver-owned shmem BO's that
+aren't exposed to user-space through a DRM handle, like queue ring buffers,
+sync object arrays and heap chunks. Because they are all allocated and pinned
+at creation time, only `panthor-resident-memory` is necessary to tell us their
+size. `panthor-active-memory` shows the size of kernel BO's associated with
+VM's and groups currently being scheduled for execution by the GPU.
