[PATCH] dma-contiguous: add optional cma_name for cma= kernel parameter

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When cma is defined in the device tree, the device tree node
name is used as the cma name. In the following example, the cma
will be named 'linux,cma':

linux,cma {
	compatible = "shared-dma-pool";
	reusable;
	size = <0 0x3c000000>;
	alloc-ranges = <0 0x40000000 0 0xC0000000>;
	linux,cma-default;
};

And a device /dev/dma_heap/linux,cma is created.

However, when cma is provided by command line, a default
name of 'reserved' is used, and the device path changes to
/dev/dma_heap/reserved.

This is problematic because some user space applications,
like gstreamer plugins, are expecting /dev/dma_heap/linux,cma.

This parameter allows overriding the default 'reserved' name.
