Subject[PATCH 3.2 051/131] drm/ttm: Fix possible stack overflow by recursive shrinker calls.
3.2.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp>

commit 71336e011d1d2312bcbcaa8fcec7365024f3a95d upstream.

While ttm_dma_pool_shrink_scan() tries to take mutex before doing GFP_KERNEL
allocation, ttm_pool_shrink_scan() does not do it. This can result in stack
overflow if kmalloc() in ttm_page_pool_free() triggered recursion due to
memory pressure.

shrink_slab()
=> ttm_pool_shrink_scan()
=> ttm_page_pool_free()
=> kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)
=> shrink_slab()
=> ttm_pool_shrink_scan()
=> ttm_page_pool_free()
=> kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)

Change ttm_pool_shrink_scan() to do like ttm_dma_pool_shrink_scan() does.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
- Adjust context
- Change return value in the contended case to follow the old shrinker
API]
