Subject: amdgpu crashes on OOM

Hi,
I frequently encounter OOM on my system, mostly due to my own fault.
Recently, I noticed that not only does a swap storm happen and OOM
killer gets invoked, but the graphics output freezes permanently.
Checking the kernel messages, I see:
kworker/u24:4: page allocation failure: order:5, mode:0x40dc0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_ZERO), nodemask=(null)

This area of code is quite odd:
dc_state_temp = dc_create_state(dm->dc);
ASSERT(dc_state_temp);
dc_state = dc_state_temp;
dc_resource_state_copy_construct_current(dm->dc, dc_state);
This ASSERT macro is misleading: unless CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL_DC is set,
it is actually WARN_ON_ONCE(!(expr)). Therefore, this code fails to
allocate memory (causing a warning to be printed), prints another
warning that it failed, then proceeds to immediately dereference it,
crashing the thread (and the kernel if panic_on_oops is set).
While I am not by any means a graphics or kernel expert, it seems to me
like there should be a better solution than crashing. If nothing else,
the OOM killer should be invoked and the operation retried. We may lose
some frames or see some corruption, but that's far better than totally
breaking.
Thanks,
Alex.
