Created attachment 367012 [details] [review] housekeeping: Add a GPU memory usage notification Only works on supported nvidia GPUs and nvidia binary driver combinations.
Review of attachment 367012 [details] [review]: This could be interesting, but not to gnome-settings-daemon, it's far too hardware specific. Could this be packaged in some nvidia specific desktop package instead?
Hans, any ideas where this could live? It just needs some syntactic sugar to build independently, and a .desktop file to autostart when the NVidia driver is used.
Or maybe Lionel knows a way to implement this that'd work across GPUs?
No, sorry. The closest would be some debug/sysfs parsing, but that still driver specific.

The DRM subsystem is just focused on the display side of things. Most memory allocation for everything else is handled per driver :( Since it is mostly used by 3d/compute userspace drivers (which are hardware specific again), there isn't much interest to make a generic layer to inspect allocations.
