--- Comment #1 from Chris Wilson <chris at chris-wilson.co.uk> ---
Just one of the usual lack-of-reclaim faux pas. There are a lot of shmem
objects there that we would expect to be able to swap out and load a new
object. However, since we are using MAYFAIL in this case, we purposely don't
try very hard. It would be justifiable to remove the warning as the ENOMEM goes
straight back to userspace, but on the other hand we need to improve the
shrinker for this case as well. The prudent course of action would be to create
a test that reproduces this MAYFAIL reliably; although the ability of the
shrinker to reclaim memory will be dependent on the type of objects and
workload, so definitely will not be a one-test-fits-all.
