Re: [RFC PATCH] arm: dma-mapping: fallback allocation for cma failure

From: Gioh Kim
Date: Wed May 21 2014 - 04:07:24 EST



I change the name of patch into "[PATCH] arm: dma-mapping: add checking cma area initialized",
because I remove fallback allocation and use dev_get_cma_area() to check cma area.
If no cma area exists it goes to __alloc_remap_buffer().

I think this is the same with the fallback allocation but a little simple.

I am sorry but I am not familiar kernel mailing style.
Do I have to send the new patch in new email? Or is it OK to copy the new patch here?

Subject: [PATCH] arm: dma-mapping: add checking cma area initialized

If CMA is turned on and CMA size is set to zero, kernel should
behave as if CMA was not enabled at compile time.
Every dma allocation should check existence of cma area
before requesting memory.

Thanks for your advise, Michal Nazarewicz.

Having discuss with Joonsoo, I'm adding fallback allocation after __alloc_from_contiguous().
The fallback allocation works if CMA kernel options is turned on but CMA size is zero.

Hello, Gioh.

I also mentioned the case where devices have their specific cma_area.
It means that this device needs memory with some contraint.
Although I'm not familiar with DMA infrastructure, I think that
we should handle this case.

How about below patch?

__arm_dma_free will have to be changed to handle the fallback as well.
But perhaps Marek is right and there should be no fallback for regular
allocations? Than again, non-CMA allocation should be performed at
least in the case of cma=0.


if (addr)
*handle = pfn_to_dma(dev, page_to_pfn(page));
