From 1f563a6a46544602183e7493b6ef69769d3d76d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Hellstrom Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2014 03:32:24 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] drm/vmwgfx: Don't use memory accounting for kernel-side fence objects Kernel side fence objects are used when unbinding resources and may thus be created as part of a memory reclaim operation. This might trigger recursive memory reclaims and result in the kernel running out of stack space. So a simple way out is to avoid accounting of these fence objects. In principle this is OK since while user-space can trigger the creation of such objects, it can't really hold on to them. However, their lifetime is quite long, so some form of accounting should perhaps be implemented in the future. Fixes kernel crashes when running, for example viewperf11 ensight-04 test 3 with low system memory settings.
