Dmitry Osipenko 3d824c7df5 drm/msm/gem: Prevent blocking within shrinker loop 
[ Upstream commit 9630b585b6 ]

Consider this scenario:

1. APP1 continuously creates lots of small GEMs
2. APP2 triggers `drop_caches`
3. Shrinker starts to evict APP1 GEMs, while APP1 produces new purgeable
   GEMs
4. msm_gem_shrinker_scan() returns non-zero number of freed pages
   and causes shrinker to try shrink more
5. msm_gem_shrinker_scan() returns non-zero number of freed pages again,
   goto 4
6. The APP2 is blocked in `drop_caches` until APP1 stops producing
   purgeable GEMs

To prevent this blocking scenario, check number of remaining pages
that GPU shrinker couldn't release due to a GEM locking contention
or shrinking rejection. If there are no remaining pages left to shrink,
then there is no need to free up more pages and shrinker may break out
from the loop.

This problem was found during shrinker/madvise IOCTL testing of
virtio-gpu driver. The MSM driver is affected in the same way.

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.
