early_cma parses ‘cma’ command line argument which can specify where
exactly the default CMA area is to be located. Furthermore, CMA areas
can be assigned per-device (via the Device Tree IIRC).
OK, but the context of this bug report is a generic cma pool and generic
dma alloc, which tries cma first and then fallback to
alloc_pages_node(). If a device really requires specific placing as you
suggest, then it probably uses a different allocation interface,
otherwise there would be some flag to disallow the alloc_pages_node()
fallback?
