Thank you for responding. You can carry this patch via whichever tree you like.

By the way, is "memory allocation from ion_system_heap_allocate() is calling
ion_system_heap_shrink()"
( https://lkml.kernel.org/r/03763360-a7de-de87-eb90-ba7838143930@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp )
what we want? Such memory allocations might not want to call shrinkers...
