Hi,

This came up in the context of a customer issue. I have asked them if we
can share anonymised data here, and I will pass on any response.

>From my analysis of the code while working the case, it would seem that
you could reproduce this by spinning up and tearing down VMs of varying
memory sizes in order to fragment the CMA. It looks like PCI pass-
through would exacerbate the issue, although I don't believe this was a
factor in this instance.

I wonder if this is fully 'solvable' per se - with memory overcommit it
should be easy to simply run out of CMA space - but it should be
possible to at least print much more helpful information either from the
kernel or from qemu.

Regards,
Daniel
