[PATCH] mm/cma: Fix potential memory loss on cma_declare_contiguous_nid

From: Levi Yun
Date: Wed Jan 18 2023 - 03:53:39 EST


Suppose, memblock_alloc_ranged_nid with highmem_start is success
when cma_declare_contiguous_nid is called with !fixed
in the system 32-bit system with PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT enabled
with memblock.bottom_up == false.

But, Next trial to memblock_alloc_range_nid to allocate in
[SIZE_4G, limits) nullifies former success allocated addr and
it retries to memblock_alloc_ragne_nid again.

In this situation, first success address area is lost.

By changing order of allocation (SIZE_4G, high_memory and base) and
checking whether allocated prevents potential memory lost.
