Also, and queue this?

Easy to get this?

need GFP_NOFS?

Not sure, I use __GFP_IO intentionally here to avoid __GFP_RECLAIM from
GFP_NOFS, because in low memory case, I don't want to instead page cache
of normal file with page cache of sbi->compress_inode.

What is memory size in your vm?

4GB. If I set GFP_NOFS, I don't see the error anymore, at least.

I applied below patch and don't see the warning message anymore.

This is buggy, because sbi->compress_watermark equals to 20, so that
sbi->compress_watermark / 100 * avail_ram always be zero...

After this change, if free ram is lower, we may just skip caching
compressed blocks here.

Can we move this in f2fs_available_free_memory()?

More clean.

One comment below:


Testing this.

Need to cover COMPRESS_MAPPING() with CONFIG_F2FS_FS_COMPRESSION.

Added like this.

How about adding free_ram definition and assigment here?

unsigned long free_ram = val.freeram;

Thanks,
