[PATCHv8 07/12] mm: cma: Contiguous Memory Allocator added

Wed Dec 15 15:34:27 EST 2010
The Contiguous Memory Allocator is a set of functions that lets
one initialise a region of memory which then can be used to perform
allocations of contiguous memory chunks from.
CMA allows for creation of private and non-private contexts.
The former is reserved for CMA and no other kernel subsystem can
use it. The latter allows for movable pages to be allocated within
CMA's managed memory so that it can be used for page cache when
CMA devices do not use it.

+/*
+ * Contiguous Memory Allocator
+ *
+ * The Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) makes it possible for
+ * device drivers to allocate big contiguous chunks of memory after
+ * the system has booted.
+ *
+ * It requires some machine- and/or platform-specific initialisation
+ * code which prepares memory ranges to be used with CMA and later,
+ * device drivers can allocate memory from those ranges.
+ *
+ * Why is it needed?
+ *
+ * Various devices on embedded systems have no scatter-getter and/or
+ * IO map support and require contiguous blocks of memory to
+ * operate. They include devices such as cameras, hardware video
+ * coders, etc.
+ *
+ * Such devices often require big memory buffers (a full HD frame
+ * is, for instance, more then 2 mega pixels large, i.e. more than 6
+ * MB of memory), which makes mechanisms such as kmalloc() or
+ * alloc_page() ineffective.
+ *
+ * At the same time, a solution where a big memory region is
+ * reserved for a device is suboptimal since often more memory is
+ * reserved then strictly required and, moreover, the memory is
+ * inaccessible to page system even if device drivers don't use it.
+ *
+ * CMA tries to solve this issue by operating on memory regions
+ * where only movable pages can be allocated from. This way, kernel
+ * can use the memory for pagecache and when device driver requests
+ * it, allocated pages can be migrated.
+ *
+ * Driver usage
+ *
+ * For device driver to use CMA it needs to have a pointer to a CMA
+ * context represented by a struct cma (which is an opaque data
+ * type).
+ *
+ * Once such pointer is obtained, device driver may allocate
+ * contiguous memory chunk using the following function:
+ *
+ * cm_alloc()
+ *
+ * This function returns a pointer to struct cm (another opaque data
+ * type) which represent a contiguous memory chunk. This pointer
+ * may be used with the following functions:
+ *
+ * cm_free() -- frees allocated contiguous memory
+ * cm_pin() -- pins memory
+ * cm_unpin() -- unpins memory
+ * cm_vmap() -- maps memory in kernel space
+ * cm_vunmap() -- unmaps memory from kernel space
+ *
+ * See the respective functions for more information.
+ *
+ * Platform/machine integration
+ *
+ * For device drivers to be able to use CMA platform or machine
+ * initialisation code must create a CMA context and pass it to
+ * device drivers. The latter may be done by a global variable or
+ * a platform/machine specific function. For the former CMA
+ * provides the following functions:
+ *
+ * cma_reserve()
+ * cma_create()
+ *
+ * The cma_reserve() function must be called when memblock is still
+ * operational and reserving memory with it is still possible. On
+ * ARM platform the "reserve" machine callback is a perfect place to
+ * call it.
+ *
+ * The last function creates a CMA context on a range of previously
+ * initialised memory addresses. Because it uses kmalloc() it needs
+ * to be called after SLAB is initialised.
