[PATCH] mm/cma: fix stray newline in auto-generated CMA area name
From: Ivy Lopez
Date: Mon Aug 10 2026 - 20:34:59 EST
When no explicit name is provided, cma_new_area() falls back to
generating one via snprintf(), but the format string contains an
embedded newline: "cma%d\n". This name is used as-is for the area's
sysfs entry (cma_sysfs.c) and debugfs directory (cma_debug.c), so
every auto-named CMA area ends up with a newline embedded in its
sysfs/debugfs name.
Drop the stray newline and the extra space after the size argument.
