[PATCH 3/4] (CMA_AGGRESSIVE) Update reserve custom contiguous area code

From: Hui Zhu
Date: Wed Oct 15 2014 - 23:36:59 EST


Add cma_alloc_counter, cma_aggressive_switch, cma_aggressive_free_min and
cma_aggressive_shrink_switch.

cma_aggressive_switch is the swith for all CMA_AGGRESSIVE function. It can be
controlled by sysctl vm.cma-aggressive-switch.

cma_aggressive_free_min can be controlled by sysctl
"vm.cma-aggressive-free-min". If the number of CMA free pages is small than
this sysctl value, CMA_AGGRESSIVE will not work in page alloc code.

cma_aggressive_shrink_switch can be controlled by sysctl
"vm.cma-aggressive-shrink-switch". If sysctl "vm.cma-aggressive-shrink-switch"
is true and free normal memory's size is smaller than the size that it want to
allocate, do memory shrink with function shrink_all_memory before driver
allocate pages from CMA.

When Linux kernel try to reserve custom contiguous area, increase the value of
cma_alloc_counter. CMA_AGGRESSIVE will not work in page alloc code.
After reserve custom contiguous area function return, decreases the value of
cma_alloc_counter.
