Suballocating a buffer object is something that is not driver-specific and useful for many drivers. Use a slightly modified version of amdgpu_sa.c v2: - Style cleanups. - Added / Modified documentation. - Use u64 for the sizes and offset. The code dates back to 2012 and using unsigned int will probably soon come back to bite us. We can consider size_t as well for better 32-bit efficiency. - Add and document gfp, intr and align arguments to drm_suballoc_new(). - Use drm_printer for debug output. v3: - Remove stale author info (Christian König) v4: - Avoid 64-bit integer divisions (kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>) - Use size_t rather than u64 for the managed range.

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.
