This reverts commit a4efc174b382fcdb which introduced a regression issue that when there're multiple processes allocating dma memory in parallel by calling dma_alloc_coherent(), it may fail sometimes as follows: Error log: cma: cma_alloc: linux,cma: alloc failed, req-size: 148 pages, ret: -16 cma: number of available pages: 3@125+20@172+12@236+4@380+32@736+17@2287+23@2473+20@36076+99@40477+108@40852+44@41108+20@41196+108@41364+108@41620+ 108@42900+108@43156+483@44061+1763@45341+1440@47712+20@49324+20@49388+5076@49452+2304@55040+35@58141+20@58220+20@58284+ 7188@58348+84@66220+7276@66452+227@74525+6371@75549=> 33161 free of 81920 total pages When issue happened, we saw there were still 33161 pages (129M) free CMA memory and a lot available free slots for 148 pages in CMA bitmap that we want to allocate. When dumping memory info, we found that there was also ~342M normal memory, but only 1352K CMA memory left in buddy system while a lot of pageblocks were isolated. Memory info log: Normal free:351096kB min:30000kB low:37500kB high:45000kB reserved_highatomic:0KB active_anon:98060kB inactive_anon:98948kB active_file:60864kB inactive_file:31776kB unevictable:0kB writepending:0kB present:1048576kB managed:1018328kB mlocked:0kB bounce:0kB free_pcp:220kB local_pcp:192kB free_cma:1352kB lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 Normal: 78*4kB (UECI) 1772*8kB (UMECI) 1335*16kB (UMECI) 360*32kB (UMECI) 65*64kB (UMCI) 36*128kB (UMECI) 16*256kB (UMCI) 6*512kB (EI) 8*1024kB (UEI) 4*2048kB (MI) 8*4096kB (EI) 8*8192kB (UI) 3*16384kB (EI) 8*32768kB (M) = 489288kB The root cause of this issue is that since commit a4efc174b382 ("mm/cma.c: remove redundant cma_mutex lock"), CMA supports concurrent memory allocation. It's possible that the memory range process A trying to alloc has already been isolated by the allocation of process B during memory migration. The problem here is that the memory range isolated during one allocation by start_isolate_page_range() could be much bigger than the real size we want to alloc due to the range is aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. Taking an ARMv7 platform with 1G memory as an example, when MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES is big (e.g. 32M with max_order 14) and CMA memory is relatively small (e.g. 128M), there're only 4 MAX_ORDER slot, then it's very easy that all CMA memory may have already been isolated by other processes when one trying to allocate memory using dma_alloc_coherent(). Since current CMA code will only scan one time of whole available CMA memory, then dma_alloc_coherent() may easy fail due to contention with other processes. This patch simply falls back to the original method that using cma_mutex to make alloc_contig_range() run sequentially to avoid the issue.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels
-
BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
-
LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
Common Kernel patch requirements
- All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass
script/checkpatch.pl
- Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
- If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch:
UPSTREAM:
,BACKPORT:
,FROMGIT:
,FROMLIST:
, orANDROID:
. - All patches must have a
Change-Id:
tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html) - If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a
Bug:
tag. - All patches must have a
Signed-off-by:
tag by the author and the submitter
Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type
Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:
, BACKPORT:
- If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
- tag the patch subject with
UPSTREAM:
. - add upstream commit information with a
(cherry-picked from ...)
line - Example:
- if the upstream commit message is
- tag the patch subject with
important patch from upstream
This is the detailed description of the important patch
Signed-off-by: Fred Jones <fred.jones@foo.org>
- then Joe Smith would upload the patch for the common kernel as
UPSTREAM: important patch from upstream

Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <joe.smith@foo.org>
- If the patch requires any changes from the upstream version, tag the patch with
BACKPORT:
instead ofUPSTREAM:
.- use the same tags as

- add comments about the changes under the

Requirements for other backports: FROMGIT:

been merged into Linux mainline
- tag the patch subject with
FROMGIT:
- add info on where the patch came from as

. This must be a stable maintainer branch (not rebased, so don't uselinux-next
for example). - if changes were required, use
