[PATCH 0/3] Chunk Heap Support on DMA-HEAP

From: Hyesoo Yu
Date: Tue Aug 18 2020 - 03:45:57 EST


These patch series to introduce a new dma heap, chunk heap.
That heap is needed for special HW that requires bulk allocation of
fixed high order pages. For example, 64MB dma-buf pages are made up
to fixed order-4 pages * 1024.

The chunk heap uses alloc_pages_bulk to allocate high order page.

The chunk heap is registered by device tree with alignment and memory node
of contiguous memory allocator(CMA). Alignment defines chunk page size.
For example, alignment 0x1_0000 means chunk page size is 64KB.
The phandle to memory node indicates contiguous memory allocator(CMA).
If device node doesn't have cma, the registration of chunk heap fails.

The patchset includes the following:
- export dma-heap API to register kernel module dma heap.
- add chunk heap implementation.
- document of device tree to register chunk heap
