(let me resend as plain text)
It was one of camera scenarios. I internally asked and heard that was not a bug
but normal. I think 2GB looks too big for one graphics buffer but it could be
for other purposes like camera. I think the system heap should support that.
Regarding __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL, we may need to say dma-buf system heap was
designed to gather many pages up to a requested size. If mm returns NULL due to
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL, dma-buf system heap will release other already allocated
pages, so that it may help to avoid oom.
