This means that system will have less available MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE and MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE page blocks since MIGRATE_CMA can't fallback to them. The CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES increases because it depends on MAX_PAGE_ORDER which depends on ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER. The value of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER increases on 16k and 64k kernels. For example, in ARM, the CMA alignment requirement when: - CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER default value is used - CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is set: PAGE_SIZE | MAX_PAGE_ORDER | pageblock_order | CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 4KiB | 10 | 9 | 4KiB * (2 ^ 9) = 2MiB 16Kib | 11 | 11 | 16KiB * (2 ^ 11) = 32MiB 64KiB | 13 | 13 | 64KiB * (2 ^ 13) = 512MiB There are some extreme cases for the CMA alignment requirement when: - CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER maximum value is set - CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is NOT set: - CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is NOT set PAGE_SIZE | MAX_PAGE_ORDER | pageblock_order | CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4KiB | 15 | 15 | 4KiB * (2 ^ 15) = 128MiB 16Kib | 13 | 13 | 16KiB * (2 ^ 13) = 128MiB 64KiB | 13 | 13 | 64KiB * (2 ^ 13) = 512MiB This affects the CMA reservations for the drivers. If a driver in a 4KiB kernel needs 4MiB of CMA memory, in a 16KiB kernel, the minimal reservation has to be 32MiB due to the alignment requirements: reserved-memory { ... cma_test_reserve: cma_test_reserve { compatible = "shared-dma-pool"; size = <0x0 0x400000>; /* 4 MiB */ ... }; }; reserved-memory { ... cma_test_reserve: cma_test_reserve { compatible = "shared-dma-pool"; size = <0x0 0x2000000>; /* 32 MiB */ ... }; }; Solution: Add a new config CONFIG_PAGE_BLOCK_ORDER that allows to set the page block order in all the architectures. The maximum page block order will be given by ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER. By default, CONFIG_PAGE_BLOCK_ORDER will have the same value that ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER. This will make sure that current kernel configurations won't be affected by this change. It is a opt-in change. This patch will allow to have the same CMA alignment requirements for large page sizes (16KiB, 64KiB) as that in 4kb kernels by setting a lower pageblock_order. Tests: - Verified that HugeTLB pages work when pageblock_order is 1, 7, 10 on 4k and 16k kernels. - Verified that Transparent Huge Pages work when pageblock_order is 1, 7, 10 on 4k and 16k kernels. - Verified that dma-buf heaps allocations work when pageblock_order is 1, 7, 10 on 4k and 16k kernels. Benchmarks: The benchmarks compare 16kb kernels with pageblock_order 10 and 7. The reason for the pageblock_order 7 is because this value makes the min CMA alignment requirement the same as that in 4kb kernels (2MB). - Perform 100K dma-buf heaps (/dev/dma_heap/system) allocations of SZ_8M, SZ_4M, SZ_2M, SZ_1M, SZ_64, SZ_8, SZ_4.
