This solves a problem but not enough of the problem.
We need to be able to support more than one chunk/carveout
heap.
This is easy to support.
This also assumes that the memory has already been
reserved/placed and that you know the base and size to
pass on the command line. Part of the issue with the carveout
heaps is that we need a way to tell the kernel to reserve
the memory early enough and then get that information to
Ion. Hard coding memory locations tends to be buggy from
my past experience with Ion.
memmap= kernel option marks the memory region(s) as reserved (Zone
Allocator doesn't use this memory region(s)). So the heap(s) may manage
this memory region(s).
memmap= is x86 only. I really don't like using the command line for
specifying the base/size as it seems likely to conflict with platforms
that rely on devicetree for reserving memory regions.
Thanks,

I see ... So probably the better way is the one similar to this
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/kernel/dma/contiguous.c#L245
?
Correct. For platforms that need devicetree, we need a way to specify
that a region should become an Ion heap. I went through a similar
exercise with CMA heaps before I kind of gave up on figuring out a
binding and just had Ion enumerate all CMA heaps. We do still need
a solution to work with non-DT platforms as well so whatever we
come up with needs to plausibly work for both cases. Your solution
would cover the non-DT case but I'd really like to make sure we
at least have a path forward for the devicetree case as well.
Thanks,
Laura
Thanks,
Alexey
If you'd like to see about coming up with a complete solution,
feel free to resubmit but I'm still strongly considering
removing these heaps.
I will add the multiple heaps support and resubmit the patch
