[PATCH v8 1/4] mm/cma: Add PF flag to force non cma alloc

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V
Date: Wed Feb 27 2019 - 09:48:09 EST


This patch adds PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA which make sure any allocation in that context
is marked non-movable and hence cannot be satisfied by CMA region.

This is useful with get_user_pages_longterm where we want to take a page pin by
migrating pages from CMA region. Marking the section PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA ensures
that we avoid unnecessary page migration later.
