When the system boots up, in the dmesg logs we can see
the memory statistics along with total reserved as below.
Memory: 458840k/458840k available, 65448k reserved, 0K highmem
When CMA is enabled, still the total reserved memory remains the same.
However, the CMA memory is not considered as reserved.
But, when we see /proc/meminfo, the CMA memory is part of free memory.
This creates confusion.
This patch corrects the problem by properly substracting the CMA reserved
memory from the total reserved memory in dmesg logs.
Below is the dmesg snaphot from an arm based device with 512MB RAM and
12MB single CMA region.
Before this change:
Memory: 458840k/458840k available, 65448k reserved, 0K highmem
After this change:
Memory: 458840k/458840k available, 53160k reserved, 12288k cma-reserved, 0K highmem
