Patch Review
This is the core behavioral change. When an allocation is protected by min/low and resource allocation fails, TTM now attempts eviction of unprotected buffers.
**Logic flow**:
```c
if (!alloc_state->in_evict) {
may_evict |= dmem_cgroup_below_min(NULL, alloc_state->charge_pool);
alloc_state->may_try_low = may_evict;
may_evict |= dmem_cgroup_below_low(NULL, alloc_state->charge_pool);
}
```
This is subtly clever:
- If below **min**: `may_evict=true`, `may_try_low=true` (can try evicting low-protected BOs too)
- If below **low** (but not min): `may_evict=true`, `may_try_low=false` (only evict unprotected BOs)
- If neither: no change to `may_evict`, no aggressive eviction
The `may_try_low` flag gates the "retry with low" logic in `ttm_bo_evict_alloc()`, preventing low-but-not-min protected allocations from evicting low-protected buffers. This correctly models the min > low priority.
**Comment style**: The block comment at line 2133 starts with `/* If we failed...` — kernel style prefers the opening `/*` on its own line for multi-line comments. Minor style nit.
**The `may_try_low` field naming** could be slightly confusing since setting it to `true` means "yes, we may try evicting low-protected BOs" but the semantics in `ttm_bo_evict_alloc` are "skip the low retry if may_try_low is false". This is consistent but requires careful reading.
