From ceb51173b2b5bd7af0d99079f6bbacdcfc58fe08 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robin Murphy Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2018 14:00:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] dma-debug: Make leak-like behaviour apparent 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.
