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 | ||
