[PATCH 2/2] mm: cma: Align to physical address, not CMA region position

From: Gregory Fong
Date: Wed Nov 05 2014 - 15:08:10 EST


The alignment in cma_alloc() was done w.r.t. the bitmap. This is a
problem when, for example:

- a device requires 16M (order 12) alignment
- the CMA region is not 16 M aligned

In such a case, can result with the CMA region starting at, say,
0x2f800000 but any allocation you make from there will be aligned from
there. Requesting an allocation of 32 M with 16 M alignment will
result in an allocation from 0x2f800000 to 0x31800000, which doesn't
work very well if your strange device requires 16M alignment.

Change to use bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off() to account for the
difference in alignment at reserve-time and alloc-time.
