Some BO's might be mapped onto physical memory chunkwise and on demand, like Panfrost's tiler heap. In this case, even though the drm_gem_shmem_object page array might already be allocated, only a very small fraction of the BO is currently backed by system memory, but drm_show_memory_stats will then proceed to add its entire virtual size to the file's total resident size regardless. This led to very unrealistic RSS sizes being reckoned for Panfrost, where said tiler heap buffer is initially allocated with a virtual size of 128 MiB, but only a small part of it will eventually be backed by system memory after successive GPU page faults. Provide a new DRM object generic function that would allow drivers to return a more accurate RSS and purgeable sizes for their BOs.

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 Restructured Text 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.
