[PATCH v4 0/8] dma-buf: heaps: Turn heaps into modules

[Maxime Ripard <mripard@kernel.org>]

Hi,

The recent introduction of heaps in the optee driver [1] made possible
the creation of heaps as modules.

It's generally a good idea if possible, including for the already
existing system and CMA heaps.

The system one is pretty trivial, the CMA one is a bit more involved,
especially since we have a call from kernel/dma/contiguous.c to the CMA
heap code. This was solved by turning the logic around and making the
CMA heap call into the contiguous DMA code.

Let me know what you think,
Maxime

Changes in v4:
- Fix compilation failure
- Rework to take into account OF_RESERVED_MEM
- Fix regression making the default CMA area disappear if not created
  through the DT
- Added some documentation and comments
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260303-dma-buf-heaps-as-modules-v3-0-24344812c707@kernel.org

Changes in v3:
- Squashed cma_get_name and cma_alloc/release patches
- Fixed typo in Export dev_get_cma_area commit title
- Fixed compilation failure with DMA_CMA but not OF_RESERVED_MEM
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260227-dma-buf-heaps-as-modules-v2-0-454aee7e06cc@kernel.org

Changes in v2:
- Collect tags
- Don't export dma_contiguous_default_area anymore, but export
  dev_get_cma_area instead
- Mentioned that heap modules can't be removed
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260225-dma-buf-heaps-as-modules-v1-0-2109225a090d@kernel.org
