The commit d1c912c1001f was made into tegra_defconfig and later forwared to multi_v7_deconfig as 0c86f089e66a93 Quoting original commit into the kernel tree: - Allocate 64 MiB for CMA by default; the default 16MiB is not enough for the majority of use-cases. This can still be overridden by the cma command-line option. If this patch is not applied, KMS drivers using CMA would rapidly exhaust the allocated memory. This was seen on tegra_drm (from tagr libdrm/opentegra with exa support on freedesktop.org) ... kernel: host1x drm: failed to allocate buffer with size 2457600 ... On the other side, CMA allocated memory can easily be freed http://lwn.net/Articles/486301/ "Freeing memory is much simpler process..." Whereas they can only be allocated at boot time https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/7/810 "CMA is introduced to provide physically contiguous pages at runtime. For this purpose, it reserves memory at boot time." This patch is about to have a convenient generic default and to match upstream kernel default value. Everything can be setup back into fedora tools such as arm-boot-config At some point, tegra revisions that can support IOMMU will not rely on CMA. This is not the case for tegra20 Tested on Toshiba AC100 (with 512M RAM with cma=128M zram=1x128M) with opentegra DDX driver --- config-arm-generic | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/config-arm-generic b/config-arm-generic index 0c5242c..158ea5c 100644 --- a/config-arm-generic +++ b/config-arm-generic @@ -162,7 +162,7 @@ CONFIG_THERMAL_GOV_USER_SPACE=y CONFIG_CMA=y CONFIG_DMA_CMA=y # CONFIG_CMA_DEBUG is not set -CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_MBYTES=16 +CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_MBYTES=64 CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_SEL_MBYTES=y # CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_SEL_PERCENTAGE is not set # CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_SEL_MIN is not set -- 1.7.2.1 _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
