Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drm/i915: Mark pinned shmemfs pages as unevictable
Date:   Wed, 17 Oct 2018 01:43:00 +0800
Message-Id: <20181016174300.197906-3-vovoy@chromium.org>
In-Reply-To: <20181016174300.197906-1-vovoy@chromium.org>

The i915 driver use shmemfs to allocate backing storage for gem objects.
These shmemfs pages can be pinned (increased ref count) by
shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp(). When a lot of pages are pinned, vmscan
wastes a lot of time scanning these pinned pages. Mark these pinned
pages as unevictable to speed up vmscan.
