Kuo-Hsin Yang fb4b49278f drm/gem: Mark pinned pages as unevictable
The gem drivers use shmemfs to allocate backing storage for gem objects.
On Samsung Chromebook Plus, the drm/rockchip driver may call
rockchip_gem_get_pages -> drm_gem_get_pages -> shmem_read_mapping_page
to pin a lot of pages, breaking the page reclaim mechanism and causing
oom-killer invocation.

E.g. when the size of a zone is 3.9 GiB, the inactive_ratio is 5. If
active_anon / inactive_anon < 5 and all pages in the inactive_anon lru
are pinned, page reclaim would keep scanning inactive_anon lru without
reclaiming memory. It breaks page reclaim when the rockchip driver only
pins about 1/6 of the anon lru pages.

Mark these pinned pages as unevictable to avoid the premature oom-killer
invocation. See also similar patch on i915 driver [1].

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
