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 * * CMA should not be used by the device drivers directly. It is * only a helper framework for dma-mapping subsystem. * * For more information, see kernel-docs in drivers/base/dma-contiguous.c */ #ifdef __KERNEL__ struct cma; struct page; struct device; #ifdef CONFIG_CMA /* * There is always at least global CMA area and a few optional device * private areas configured in kernel .config. */ #define MAX_CMA_AREAS (1 + CONFIG_CMA_AREAS) extern struct cma *dma_contiguous_def_area; void dma_contiguous_reserve(phys_addr_t addr_limit); int dma_contiguous_reserve_area(phys_addr_t size, phys_addr_t *res_base, phys_addr_t limit, const char *name); int dma_contiguous_add_device(struct device *dev, phys_addr_t base); /** * dma_declare_contiguous() - reserve area for contiguous memory handling * for particular device * @dev: Pointer to device structure. * @size: Size of the reserved memory. * @base: Start address of the reserved memory (optional, 0 for any). * @limit: End address of the reserved memory (optional, 0 for any). * * This function reserves memory for specified device.
