Subject: [RFC 4/4] dma-debug: Make leak-like behaviour apparent
Date: Mon,  3 Dec 2018 17:28:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7ec928f0bd92122f271c421e99aaeb593ccabdf5.1543856576.git.robin.murphy@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1543856576.git.robin.murphy@arm.com>

Now that we can dynamically allocate DMA debug entries to cope with
drivers maintaining excessively large numbers of live mappings, a driver
which *does* actually have a bug leaking mappings (and is not unloaded)
will no longer trigger the "DMA-API: debugging out of memory - disabling"
message until it gets to actual kernel OOM conditions, which means it
could go unnoticed for a while. To that end, let's inform the user each
time the pool has grown to a multiple of its initial size, which should
make it apparent that they either have a leak or might want to increase
the preallocation size.

Signed-off-by: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com>

Tagging this one as RFC since people might think it's silly.
