Conventionally, we put output param to the end of param list and put the
'base' ahead of 'size', but cma_declare_contiguous() doesn't look like
that, so change it.

Additionally, move down cma_areas reference code to the position where
it is really needed.

<title>CMA: generalize CMA reserved area management functionality</title>

<id>a254129e8686bff7a340b58f35241b04927e81c0</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, there are two users on CMA functionality, one is the DMA
subsystem and the other is the KVM on powerpc.  They have their own code
to manage CMA reserved area even if they looks really similar.  From my
guess, it is caused by some needs on bitmap management.  KVM side wants
to maintain bitmap not for 1 page, but for more size.  Eventually it use
bitmap where one bit represents 64 pages.

When I implement CMA related patches, I should change those two places
to apply my change and it seem to be painful to me.  I want to change
this situation and reduce future code management overhead through this
patch.

This change could also help developer who want to use CMA in their new
feature development, since they can use CMA easily without copying &amp;
pasting this reserved area management code.

In previous patches, we have prepared some features to generalize CMA
reserved area management and now it's time to do it.  This patch moves
core functions to mm/cma.c and change DMA APIs to use these functions.

There is no functional change in DMA APIs.

PPC KVM's CMA area management requires arbitrary bitmap granularity,
since they want to reserve very large memory and manage this region with
bitmap that one bit for several pages to reduce management overheads.
So support arbitrary bitmap granularity for following generalization.

To prepare future generalization work on CMA area management code, we
need to separate core CMA management codes from DMA APIs.  We will
extend these core functions to cover requirements of PPC KVM's CMA area
management functionality in following patches.  This separation helps us
not to touch DMA APIs while extending core functions.

We should free memory for bitmap when we find zone mismatch, otherwise
this memory will leak.

Additionally, I copy code comment from PPC KVM's CMA code to inform why
we need to check zone mis-match.

<title>cma: add placement specifier for "cma=" kernel parameter</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=5ea3b1b2f8ad9162684431ce6188102ca4c64b7a'/>
<id>5ea3b1b2f8ad9162684431ce6188102ca4c64b7a</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, "cma=" kernel parameter is used to specify the size of CMA,
but we can't specify where it is located.  We want to locate CMA below
4GB for devices only supporting 32-bit addressing on 64-bit systems
without iommu.

This enables to specify the placement of CMA by extending "cma=" kernel
parameter.

Examples:
 1. locate 64MB CMA below 4GB by "cma=64M@0-4G"
 2. locate 64MB CMA exact at 512MB by "cma=64M@512M"

Note that the DMA contiguous memory allocator on x86 assumes that
page_address() works for the pages to allocate.  So this change requires
to limit end address of contiguous memory area upto max_pfn_mapped to
prevent from locating it on highmem area by the argument of
dma_contiguous_reserve().

Currently, "cma=" kernel parameter is used to specify the size of CMA,
but we can't specify where it is located.  We want to locate CMA below
4GB for devices only supporting 32-bit addressing on 64-bit systems
without iommu.

This enables to specify the placement of CMA by extending "cma=" kernel
parameter.

Examples:
 1. locate 64MB CMA below 4GB by "cma=64M@0-4G"
 2. locate 64MB CMA exact at 512MB by "cma=64M@512M"

Note that the DMA contiguous memory allocator on x86 assumes that
page_address() works for the pages to allocate.  So this change requires
to limit end address of contiguous memory area upto max_pfn_mapped to
prevent from locating it on highmem area by the argument of
dma_contiguous_reserve().

'cma: Remove potential deadlock situation' introduces per cma area mutex
for bitmap management. It is good, but there is one mistake. When we
can't find appropriate area in bitmap, we release cma_mutex global lock
rather than cma-&gt;lock and this is a bug. So fix it.

CMA locking is currently very coarse. The cma_mutex protects both
the bitmap and avoids concurrency with alloc_contig_range. There
are several situations which may result in a deadlock on the CMA
mutex currently, mostly involving AB/BA situations with alloc and
free. Fix this issue by protecting the bitmap with a mutex per CMA
region and use the existing mutex for protecting against concurrency
with alloc_contig_range.
