[PATCH v2] iommu/iova: silence warnings under memory pressure

From: Qian Cai
Date: Thu Nov 21 2019 - 21:55:27 EST


When running heavy memory pressure workloads, this 5+ old system is
throwing endless warnings below because disk IO is too slow to recover
from swapping. Since the volume from alloc_iova_fast() could be large,
once it calls printk(), it will trigger disk IO (writing to the log
files) and pending softirqs which could cause an infinite loop and make
no progress for days by the ongoimng memory reclaim. This is the counter
part for Intel where the AMD part has already been merged. See the
commit 3d708895325b ("iommu/amd: Silence warnings under memory
pressure"). Since the allocation failure will be reported in
intel_alloc_iova(), so just call printk_ratelimted() there and silence
the one in alloc_iova_mem() to avoid the expensive warn_alloc().
