From: Anshuman Khandual <khandual@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/cma.c: warn if the CMA area could not be activated While activating a CMA area we check to make sure that all the PFNs in the range are inside the same zone. This is a requirement for alloc_contig_range() to work. Any CMA area failing the check is disabled for good. This happens silently right now making all future cma_alloc() allocations failure inevitable. Here we add an error message stating that the CMA area could not be activated which makes it easier to explain any future cma_alloc() failures on it. While in there, change the bail out goto label from 'err' to 'not_in_zone' which makes more sense.
