[PATCH 3/3] CMA: Add cma_alloc_counter to make cma_alloc work better if it meet busy range

From: Hui Zhu
Date: Thu Dec 25 2014 - 05:08:56 EST


In [1], Joonsoo said that cma_alloc_counter is useless because pageblock
is isolated.
But if alloc_contig_range meet a busy range, it will undo_isolate_page_range
before goto try next range. At this time, __rmqueue_cma can begin allocd
CMA memory from the range.

So I add cma_alloc_counter let __rmqueue doesn't call __rmqueue_cma when
cma_alloc works.
