Thanks for your comment.

If you think max the value is per-heap, why not add an optional
callback for dma-heap to solve this issue(prevent consuming too much
time for a doomed to fail allocation), if the dma-heap doesn't have a
special size check, just use the default value(totalram) in dma-heap 
framework to do the size check.

Yes, for linux dma-heaps, only system-heap needs it, so adding it in
system heap is the simplest. However, there are many vendor dma-heaps
like system-heap which won't be uploaded to linux codebase, and maybe
have same limitation, all these heaps need to add the same limitation.
I just think it's boring. However, If you think discussing these absent
cases based on current linux code is meaningless, I also agree to it.

So, to summarize, if you still think adding it in system_heap.c is
better, I also agree and I will update the patch to add it in
system_heap.c

Thanks~
