the free mem space and the lower limit both include two parts:
system memory and swap space.
For the OOM triggered by TTM, that is the case as below:
first swap space is full of swapped out pages and soon
system memory also is filled up with ttm pages. and then
any memory allocation request will run into OOM.
to cover two cases:
a. if no swap disk at all or free swap space is under swap mem
limit but available system mem is bigger than sys mem limit,
allow TTM allocation;
b. if the available system mem is less than sys mem limit but
free swap space is bigger than swap mem limit, allow TTM
allocation.
v2: merge two memory limit(swap and system) into one
v3: keep original behavior except ttm_opt_ctx->flags with
TTM_OPT_FLAG_FORCE_ALLOC
v4: always set force_alloc as tx->flags & TTM_OPT_FLAG_FORCE_ALLOC
v5: add an attribute for lower_mem_limit
v6: set lower_mem_limit as 0 to keep original behavior

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
