18 * Contiguous Memory Allocator
19 *
20 * The Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) makes it possible to
21 * allocate big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has
22 * booted.
23 *
24 * Why is it needed?
25 *
26 * Various devices on embedded systems have no scatter-getter and/or
27 * IO map support and require contiguous blocks of memory to
28 * operate. They include devices such as cameras, hardware video
29 * coders, etc.
30 *
31 * Such devices often require big memory buffers (a full HD frame
32 * is, for instance, more then 2 mega pixels large, i.e. more than 6
33 * MB of memory), which makes mechanisms such as kmalloc() or
34 * alloc_page() ineffective.
35 *
36 * At the same time, a solution where a big memory region is
37 * reserved for a device is suboptimal since often more memory is
38 * reserved then strictly required and, moreover, the memory is
39 * inaccessible to page system even if device drivers don't use it.
40 *
41 * CMA tries to solve this issue by operating on memory regions
42 * where only movable pages can be allocated from. This way, kernel
43 * can use the memory for pagecache and when device driver requests
44 * it, allocated pages can be migrated.
45 *
46 * Driver usage
47 *
48 * CMA should not be used by the device drivers directly. It is
49 * only a helper framework for dma-mapping subsystem.
50 *
51 * For more information, see kernel-docs in drivers/base/dma-contiguous.c
