panthor_mmu_reclaim_priv_bos returns the number of freed pages. However, how many bytes of freed memory this translates to can't generally be deduced from the number of pages, as the page size is a per-VM property.

It may be useful to know the exact number of bytes that have been freed

The "useful" aspect seems to just be a drm_dbg() message from what I can see with this series?

Correct.

Am I missing something or is it not actually that useful?

I wanted to know how much memory I'm actually reclaiming without making any assumptions about page sizes, and figured the change is innocent enough. If it's deemed too pointless, then I'll just drop the size in bytes from the debug message.

Kind regards, Nicolas Frattaroli

Thanks, Steve

for observability and debugging purposes. To that end, add a new parameter "freed_sz", which is a pointer to a size_t where this information will be stored. It may be NULL, in which case the information isn't stored at all.
