>From e945aa0d6518563835c3f279b9c7f9fc3f20b38b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 3 Aug 2014 20:01:10 +0900 Subject: [PATCH 3/5] gpu/drm/ttm: Use mutex_trylock() to avoid deadlock inside shrinker functions. I can observe that RHEL7 environment stalls with 100% CPU usage when a certain type of memory pressure is given. While the shrinker functions are called by shrink_slab() before the OOM killer is triggered, the stall lasts for many minutes. One of reasons of this stall is that ttm_dma_pool_shrink_count()/ttm_dma_pool_shrink_scan() are called and are blocked at mutex_lock(&_manager->lock). GFP_KERNEL allocation with _manager->lock held causes someone (including kswapd) to deadlock when these functions are called due to memory pressure. This patch changes "mutex_lock();" to "if (!mutex_trylock()) return ...;" in order to avoid deadlock.
