Currently it is not well defined what is drm-memory- compared to other categories. In practice the only driver which emits these keys is amdgpu and in them exposes the current resident buffer object memory (including shared). To prevent any confusion, document that drm-memory- is deprecated and an alias for drm-resident-memory-. While at it also clarify that the reserved sub-string 'memory' refers to the memory region component, and also clarify the intended semantics of other memory categories. v2: * Also mark drm-memory- as deprecated. * Add some more text describing memory categories. (Alex) v3: * Semantics of the amdgpu drm-memory is actually as drm-resident.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
