Revert "mm/cma.c: remove redundant cma_mutex lock"
This reverts commita4efc174b3
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 commita4efc174b3
("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.
