Hello, This patchset introduces memory shrinker for the VirtIO-GPU DRM driver. During OOM, the shrinker will release BOs that are marked as "not needed" by userspace using the new madvise IOCTL. The userspace in this case is the Mesa VirGL driver, it will mark the cached BOs as "not needed", allowing kernel driver to release memory of the cached shmem BOs on lowmem situations, preventing OOM kills.
Virtio-gpu is build on top of GEM shmem helpers. I have a prototype patchset that adds a shrinker to these helpers. If you want to go further, you could implement something like that instead. Panfrost and lima also have their own shrinker and could certainly be converted to the gem-shmem shrinker.
Best regards Thomas
This patchset includes couple fixes for problems I found while was working on the shrinker, it also includes prerequisite DMA API usage improvement needed by the shrinker. The Mesa and IGT patches will be kept on hold until this kernel series will be approved and applied. This patchset was tested using Qemu and crosvm, including both cases of IOMMU off/on.
