[RFC][PATCH] CMA: drivers/base/Kconfig: restrict CMA size to non-zero value

From: Gioh Kim
Date: Fri May 16 2014 - 04:02:47 EST


Hi,

I've been trying to apply CMA into my platform.
USB host driver generated kernel panic like below when USB mouse is connected,
because I turned on CMA and set the CMA_SIZE_MBYTES value into zero by mistake.

I think the panic is cuased by atomic_pool in arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c.
Zero CMA_SIZE_MBYTES value skips CMA initialization and then atomic_pool is not initialized also
because __alloc_from_contiguous is failed in atomic_pool_init().

If CMA_SIZE_MBYTES_MAX is allowed to be zero, there should be defense code to check
CMA is initlaized correctly. And atomic_pool initialization should be done by __alloc_remap_buffer
instead of __alloc_from_contiguous if __alloc_from_contiguous is failed.

IMPO, it is more simple and powerful to restrict CMA_SIZE_MBYTES_MAX configuration to be larger than zero.

I'm adding my patch to restrict CMA_SIZE_MBYTES.
This patch is based on 3.15.0-rc5

Subject: [PATCH] drivers/base/Kconfig: restrict CMA size to non-zero value

The size of CMA area must be larger than zero.
If the size is zero, CMA canno be initialized.
