commit 22e71691 upstream. 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. Signed-off-by:
