Re: [PATCH] dma-pool: use single atomic pool for both DMA zones

[Jeremy Linton]

Hi,

I spun this up on my 8G model using the PFTF firmware from:

https://github.com/pftf/RPi4/releases

Which allows me to switch between ACPI/DT on the machine. In DT mode it 
works fine now, but with ACPI I continue to have failures unless I 
disable CMA via cma=0 on the kernel command line. It think that is because

using DT:

[    0.000000] Reserved memory: created CMA memory pool at
0x0000000037400000, size 64 MiB


using ACPI:
[    0.000000] cma: Reserved 64 MiB at 0x00000000f8000000

Which is AFAIK because the default arm64 CMA allocation is just below 
the arm64_dma32_phys_limit.


Thanks,
