Commit Message

Matthew Auld Sept. 21, 2021, 11:01 a.m. UTC
For cached objects we can allocate our pages directly in shmem. This
should make it possible(in a later patch) to utilise the existing
i915-gem shrinker code for such objects. For now this is still disabled.

v2(Thomas):
  - Add optional try_to_writeback hook for objects. Importantly we need
    to check if the object is even still shrinkable; in between us
    dropping the shrinker LRU lock and acquiring the object lock it could for
    example have been moved. Also we need to differentiate between
    "lazy" shrinking and the immediate writeback mode. Also later we need to
    handle objects which don't even have mm.pages, so bundling this into
    put_pages() would require somehow handling that edge case, hence
    just letting the ttm backend handle everything in try_to_writeback
    doesn't seem too bad.

Sounds like a reasonable approach. Perhaps a different name of the 
callback since this is a two-step process - releasing the pages to shmem 
and then optionally writeback to swapcache.

IMHO we need to clean this up a bit since tts might (although perhaps 
not while swapping) might have a different lifetime than the object, for 
example if it's moved to a ghost object during async migration, 
alternatively group members together that are only parameters to the 
unpopulate()
function; obj and do_backup, and document that they are only valid while 
the object lock is held. filp and is_shmem should be OK as they are. 
Perhaps obj could be replaced with bool dirty, and instead of do_backup 
perhaps we could look at whether the TTM_TT_FLAG_SWAPPED was set before 
unpopulate?

I guess this needs fixing following Christian's email unless we put all 
EXTERNAL objects on a bdev->external list.
