Thanks for your advise, Michal Nazarewicz. Having discuss with Joonsoo, I'm adding fallback allocation after __alloc_from_contiguous(). The fallback allocation works if CMA kernel options is turned on but CMA size is zero. --------------------- 8< ------------------------ >From 05e389683ddd07027e8acb61c25f3284f762300e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gioh Kim <gioh.kim@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 20 May 2014 14:16:20 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] arm: dma-mapping: fallback allocation for cma failure If CMA is turned on and CMA size is set to zero, kernel should behave as if CMA was not enabled at compile time. Fallback allocation is added for CMA allocation failure.
