[PATCH 2/2] drm/ttm: use shmem_backup_folio() for folio backup

From: Matthew Brost

Date: Tue Jul 21 2026 - 14:25:52 EST


Replace the open-coded shmem-backup loop in ttm_backup_backup_folio()
with a thin wrapper around the new shmem_backup_folio() helper. The
wrapper maps the helper's (int errno, *nr_pages_backed) contract onto
TTM's existing (s64 handle) return convention:

- 0 -> base handle
- -ENOMEM with *nr_pages_backed > 0 -> base handle (short backup;
partial progress kept)
- any other error -> that error verbatim

The mid-compound -ENOMEM fault-injection point that used to live
inside the per-subpage loop moves up to the wrapper and takes a new
shape: instead of synthesizing an error partway through the loop, the
wrapper passes order-1 to shmem_backup_folio() when
ttm_backup_fault_inject_folio() fires. shmem_backup_folio() then
backs up the first half of the compound normally, returns 0 with
*nr_pages_backed = (1 << (order - 1)), and TTM's caller sees the same
"short backup, nr_backed < (1 << order)" it would see on a real
mid-compound OOM and drives its reactive-split path unchanged.
Injection is skipped for order == 0 since there is nothing to shrink;
the previous "inject only on i > 0" guard mapped onto the same
observable subset of runs.

No functional change intended for non-injection paths.

The patch is based on drm-tip rather than the core MM branches to
facilitate Intel CI testing and initial review. It can be rebased onto
the core MM branches in a subsequent revision.
