Yeah, indeed. But what we could do is to rely on a fixed limit like the
Intel driver does and I suggested before.
E.g. don't copy anything into a shmemfile when there is only x MB of
swap space left.
Roger can you test that approach once more with your fix for the OOM
issues in the page fault handler?
Thanks,
Christian.

I think this patch isn't need at all. You can directly read total_swap_pages variable in TTM.
Because the variable is not exported by EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. So direct using will result in:
"WARNING: "total_swap_pages" [drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm.ko] undefined!".
Thanks

Subject: Re: [PATCH] mm/swap: add function get_total_swap_pages to expose total_swap_pages
Hi Roger,
I think this patch isn't need at all. You can directly read total_swap_pages variable in TTM. See the comment:
/* protected with swap_lock. reading in vm_swap_full() doesn't need lock */ long total_swap_pages;
there are many places using it directly, you just couldn't change its value. Reading it doesn't need lock.
Regards,
David Zhou
