Uh ... I just realized I missed something between how ttm works and how i915 works. With i915 directly using shmem, all we do in the shrinker is unpin the shmem pages. With ttm we have the page pool in the middle. And it's needed for dma coherent and other things. This is rather fundamental. btw I don't think you'll get OOM, you get lockdep splat because you're recusring on fs_reclaim fake lock.

Yeah I don't think we've fixed that problem for i915 either. It loves to kill randome other stuff. In igt we solve this by marking any igt testcase as "pls kill this first".

So having an arbitrary "only half of GFP_DMA32" for these should also be acceptable, since back then gpus didn't really have gigabytes of vram yet. Biggest r500 seems to have topped out at 512MB. How much do we require the dma page pool? Afaiui it's only when there's bounce buffers or something nasty like that present. Are there more use cases? For fixing the TT -> SYSTEM problem of calling shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp from shrinker I think there's 3 solutions: 1)Call shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp with GFP_IO. This way we should not be calling back into our shrinker, which are at GFP_FS level. This isn't great, but since page reclaim is a giantic loop which repeats as long as we're making meaningful forward progress, we should be able to trickle TT pages to SYSTEM pages even under severe memory pressure. 2)For the normal page pool (i.e. neither GFP_DMA32 nor dma_alloc_coherent or write-combine) we stop copying the pages for TT <-> SYSTEM, but just directly pin the pages we get from shmem. Like all the shmem based soc drivers do. No copying, no need for allocations, no problem in shrinkers. 3)For the remaining page pools we'd need ttmfs so that we can control the address_space_operations and directly swap out from our pages to swapout, bypassing shmem and the copying. Iirc Chris Wilson had a prototype once somewhere under gemfs for this. Only needed if 1) isn't fast enough for these because there's too many such cases where we care. At least on intel hw the direction is very much towards fully coherent, so 1&2 should be good enough. -Daniel > = > Christian. > = > > It's a bit more code than the oneliner above, but I also think it's a l= ot > > more solid.
