STRUCT DRM_MEMORY_STATS(9)

💅 struct drm_memory_stats(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes we're in kernel land today and honestly? it's giving main character energy. this page is all about struct drm_memory_stats, and no cap, it's the lil glow-up struct that holds your GEM object stats ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct drm_memory_stats — GEM object stats, all associated and cozy together 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's the whole vibe, literally verbatim:

struct drm_memory_stats {
    u64 shared;
    u64 private;
    u64 resident;
    u64 purgeable;
    u64 active;
 };

that's it. five u64s and a dream 💖

🎀 Members 🎀

• shared — the total size of GEM objects that are shared between processes. it's giving collaborative. it's giving "we're all in this together" 🤝
• private — the total size of GEM objects. periodt. just... all of them 💀
• resident — the total size of GEM objects backing pages. they're literally there, living rent-free 🏠
• purgeable — the total size of GEM objects that can be purged. and iykyk: "purgeable" here means resident and not active. both conditions, bestie, no skipping 🙈
• active — the total size of GEM objects that are active on one or more engines. go go go 🔥
