Chris Wilson e0ff7a7cdd drm/i915: Early rejection of buffer allocations larger than RAM
We currently try to pin and allocate the whole buffer at a time. If that
object is larger than RAM, we will try to pin the whole of physical
memory, force the machine into oom, and then still fail the allocation.

If the request is obviously too large, error out early. We opt to do
this in the backend to make it easy to use alternate paths that do not
require the entire object pinned, or may easily handle proxy objects
that are larger than physical memory.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
