Whats happening with CONTIG flag and with IOMMU, is
__iommu_alloc_buffer() ---> dma_alloc_from_contiguous() and in this
function it fails at
this condition check if (pageno >= cma->count)
So I tried increasing the CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_MBYTES to 24, this check
succeeds and it works well without my patch.
But what about the case where CONFIG_CMA is disabled , yet i want
bigger memory for a device.
I think using IOMMU we can achieve this.
correct me, if i am wrong.
