3.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 71336e011d1d2312bcbcaa8fcec7365024f3a95d upstream. While ttm_dma_pool_shrink_scan() tries to take mutex before doing GFP_KERNEL allocation, ttm_pool_shrink_scan() does not do it. This can result in stack overflow if kmalloc() in ttm_page_pool_free() triggered recursion due to memory pressure. shrink_slab() => ttm_pool_shrink_scan() => ttm_page_pool_free() => kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) => shrink_slab() => ttm_pool_shrink_scan() => ttm_page_pool_free() => kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) Change ttm_pool_shrink_scan() to do like ttm_dma_pool_shrink_scan() does.
