Sorry, I'd somehow completely misread that as being locally rather than globally accounted. Given that, it's more correct, just also not super useful. Some drivers export allocation tracepoints which you could use if you have a decent userspace tracing infrastructure. Short of that, many drivers export this kind of thing through debugfs already. I think a better long-term direction is probably getting accounting from dma-heaps rather than extending core dmabuf itself. Cheers, Daniel
