Thomas with the ttm_memory change the allocation of pages won't happen
if the accounting report that we are going over the limit and bo shrinker
failed to free any memory to make room.
The handling of dma32 zone is done as post pass of ttm memory accounting.
OK. I'll take a deeper look into this.
Regarding the pagefault comment i removed, it doesn't make sense anymore
because now we populate the whole page table in one shot. So there is
no more prefaulting few pages but a full prefaulting. Thought i can
add a comment stating that if you like.
It's important that we distinguish between populating, which populates
pages,
and faulting, which add ptes pointing to those pages.
Previously populating happened as a side effect of faulting, but now
that populating is done
in a single step, faulting (adding ptes) is still not. Usually a fault()
handler adds a single pte,
but TTM is different and tries to prefault more, but it is important
that we only error on the first
pte, so that's why the comment should stay.
For the ttm_tt_dma struct to hold page allocator specific informations
i think it can be done as an followup patch but if you prefer to have
that in this patchset let me know i will respin with such changes.
I'm fine with having it as a separate patchset as long as it gets done :).
I am in the process of retesting this whole serie and especialy the
while memory accounting.
Cheers,
