This patch series revisits the proposal for a GPU cgroup controller to track and limit memory allocations by various device/allocator subsystems. The patch series also contains a simple prototype to illustrate how Android intends to implement DMA-BUF allocator attribution using the GPU cgroup controller. The prototype does not include resource limit enforcements.

Changelog:

v2: See the previous revision of this change submitted by Hridya Valsaraju at: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220115010622.3185921-1-hridya@google.com/

Move dma-buf cgroup charge transfer from a dma_buf_op defined by every heap to a single dma-buf function for all heaps per Daniel Vetter and Christian König. Pointers to struct gpucg and struct gpucg_device tracking the current associations were added to the dma_buf struct to achieve this.

Fix incorrect Kconfig help section indentation per Randy Dunlap.

History of the GPU cgroup controller

The GPU/DRM cgroup controller came into being when a consensus[1] was reached that the resources it tracked were unsuitable to be integrated into memcg. Originally, the proposed controller was specific to the DRM subsystem and was intended to track GEM buffers and GPU-specific resources[2]. In order to help establish a unified memory accounting model for all GPU and all related subsystems, Daniel Vetter put forth a suggestion to move it out of the DRM subsystem so that it can be used by other DMA-BUF exporters as well[3]. This RFC proposes an interface that does the same.
