I'm afraid I don't remember what if any conclusions came out of previous discussions on UAPI for heap enumeration. I suppose CMA names haven't been relevant to userspace before, but they perhaps would be with this change. Alternatively, leaving it effectively undefined doesn't tie us down, and something like links in sysfs can be added as a richer API in the future.
