CMA guarantees that the memory reserved for the CMA pool is "movable", i.e it can be discarded when a CMA allocation is done. So if a CMA allocation fails, I would rather suggest that the size of your CMA pool is not large enough. Check your Device Tree and/or kernel command (you can specify the size of the CMA pool on both if I remember correctly).
