Linux 7.3 To Gain More Aggressive TTM Graphics Memory Management

A final batch of DRM-Next specifically for miscellaneous Direct Rendering Manager features.">DRM-Misc-Next feature material was submitted this week for DRM-Next, queuing ahead of the Linux 7.3 merge window opening later this month. This update includes modifications to the TTM (Translation Table Manager) memory management code, making it "more aggressive when allocating below protection limits." This enhancement, attributed to Valve's open-source Linux graphics team, aims to improve how graphics memory is handled within the kernel. The change will be integrated into the upcoming Linux 7.3 kernel.
