drm/v3d: Reduce the alignment of the node allocation
Currently, we are using an alignment of 128 kB to insert a node, which ends up wasting memory as we perform plenty of small BOs allocations (<= 4 kB). We require that allocations are aligned to 128Kb so for any allocation smaller than that, we are wasting the difference. This implies that we cannot effectively use the whole 4 GB address space available for the GPU in the RPi 4. Currently, we can allocate up to 32000 BOs of 4 kB (~140 MB) and 3000 BOs of 400 kB (~1,3 GB). This can be quite limiting for applications that have a high memory requirement, such as vkoverhead [1]. By reducing the page alignment to 4 kB, we can allocate up to 1000000 BOs of 4 kB (~4 GB) and 10000 BOs of 400 kB (~4 GB). Moreover, by performing benchmarks, we were able to attest that reducing the page alignment to 4 kB can provide a general performance improvement in OpenGL applications (e.g. glmark2). Therefore, this patch reduces the alignment of the node allocation to 4 kB, which will allow RPi users to explore the whole 4GB virtual address space provided by the hardware. Also, this patch allow users to fully run vkoverhead in the RPi 4/5, solving the issue reported in [1].
