Well, ttm code wants to process 512 pages at a time for performance.
Memory footprint increased by 512 * sizeof(struct page *) buffer is
only 4096 bytes. What about using static buffer like below?

Subject: drm/ttm: Avoid memory allocation from shrinker functions.

Commit a91576d7916f6cce ("drm/ttm: Pass GFP flags in order to avoid
deadlock.") caused BUG_ON() due to sc->gfp_mask containing flags
which are not in GFP_KERNEL.

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87891

Changing from sc->gfp_mask to (sc->gfp_mask & GFP_KERNEL) would
avoid the BUG_ON(), but avoiding memory allocation from shrinker
function is better and reliable fix.

Shrinker function is already serialized by global lock, and
clean up function is called after shrinker function is unregistered.
Thus, we can use static buffer when called from shrinker function
and clean up function.

drm/ttm: expose CPU address of DMA-allocated pages

2014-08-09T15:08:03+00:00

Pages allocated using the DMA API have a coherent memory mapping. Make
this mapping visible to drivers so they can decide to use it instead of
creating their own redundant one.

drm/ttm: Pass GFP flags in order to avoid deadlock.

2014-08-05T00:54:19+00:00

Commit 7dc19d5a "drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan API" added
deadlock warnings that ttm_page_pool_free() and ttm_dma_page_pool_free()
are currently doing GFP_KERNEL allocation.

But these functions did not get updated to receive gfp_t argument.
This patch explicitly passes sc->gfp_mask or GFP_KERNEL to these functions,
and removes the deadlock warning.

drm/ttm: Use mutex_trylock() to avoid deadlock inside shrinker functions.

2014-08-05T00:53:18+00:00

I can observe that RHEL7 environment stalls with 100% CPU usage when a
certain type of memory pressure is given. While the shrinker functions
are called by shrink_slab() before the OOM killer is triggered, the stall
lasts for many minutes.

One of reasons of this stall is that
ttm_dma_pool_shrink_count()/ttm_dma_pool_shrink_scan() are called and
are blocked at mutex_lock(&_manager->lock). GFP_KERNEL allocation with
_manager->lock held causes someone (including kswapd) to deadlock when
these functions are called due to memory pressure. This patch changes
"mutex_lock();" to "if (!mutex_trylock()) return ...;" in order to
avoid deadlock.

drm/ttm: Choose a pool to shrink correctly in ttm_dma_pool_shrink_scan().

2014-08-05T00:52:39+00:00

We can use "unsigned int" instead of "atomic_t" by updating start_pool
variable under _manager->lock. This patch will make it possible to avoid
skipping when choosing a pool to shrink in round-robin style, after next
patch changes mutex_lock(_manager->lock) to !mutex_trylock(_manager->lork).

drm/ttm: Fix possible division by 0 in ttm_dma_pool_shrink_scan().

2014-08-05T00:51:36+00:00

list_empty(&_manager->pools) being false before taking _manager->lock
does not guarantee that _manager->npools != 0 after taking _manager->lock
because _manager->npools is updated under _manager->lock.

drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan API

2013-09-10T22:56:32+00:00

Convert the driver shrinkers to the new API.  Most changes are compile
tested only because I either don't have the hardware or it's staging
stuff.

FWIW, the md and android code is pretty good, but the rest of it makes me
want to claw my eyes out.  The amount of broken code I just encountered is
mind boggling.  I've added comments explaining what is broken, but I fear
that some of the code would be best dealt with by being dragged behind the
bike shed, burying in mud up to it's neck and then run over repeatedly
with a blunt lawn mower.

Special mention goes to the zcache/zcache2 drivers.  They can't co-exist
in the build at the same time, they are under different menu options in
menuconfig, they only show up when you've got the right set of mm
subsystem options configured and so even compile testing is an exercise in
pulling teeth.  And that doesn't even take into account the horrible,
broken code...

Merge branch 'drm-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux

2012-10-04T06:29:23+00:00

Pull drm merge (part 1) from Dave Airlie:
 "So first of all my tree and uapi stuff has a conflict mess, its my
  fault as the nouveau stuff didn't hit -next as were trying to rebase
  regressions out of it before we merged.

  Highlights:
   - SH mobile modesetting driver and associated helpers
   - some DRM core documentation
   - i915 modesetting rework, haswell hdmi, haswell and vlv fixes, write
     combined pte writing, ilk rc6 support,
   - nouveau: major driver rework into a hw core driver, makes features
     like SLI a lot saner to implement,
   - psb: add eDP/DP support for Cedarview
   - radeon: 2 layer page tables, async VM pte updates, better PLL
     selection for > 2 screens, better ACPI interactions

  The rest is general grab bag of fixes.

  So why part 1? well I have the exynos pull req which came in a bit
  late but was waiting for me to do something they shouldn't have and it
  looks fairly safe, and David Howells has some more header cleanups
  he'd like me to pull, that seem like a good idea, but I'd like to get
  this merge out of the way so -next dosen't get blocked."

Tons of conflicts mostly due to silly include line changes, but mostly
mindless.  A few other small semantic conflicts too, noted from Dave's
pre-merged branch.
