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.

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!".

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
