Currently only 12 characters of the cma name is being used as the debug directories where as the cma name can be of length CMA_MAX_NAME(=64) characters. One side problem with this is having 2 cma's with first common 12 characters would end up in trying to create directories with same name and fails with -EEXIST thus can limit cma debug functionality. The 'cma-' prefix is used initially where cma areas don't have any names and are represented by simple integer values. Since now each cma would be having its own name, drop 'cma-' prefix for the cma debug directories as they are clearly evident that they are for cma debug through creating them in /sys/kernel/debug/cma/ path.

CMA Debugfs Interface
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
The CMA debugfs interface is useful to retrieve basic information out of the
|
|
different CMA areas and to test allocation/release in each of the areas.
|
|
|
|
Each CMA area represents a directory under <debugfs>/cma/, represented by
|
|
its CMA name like below:
|
|
|
|
<debugfs>/cma/<cma_name>
|
|
|
|
The structure of the files created under that directory is as follows:
|
|
|
|
- [RO] base_pfn: The base PFN (Page Frame Number) of the zone.
|
|
- [RO] count: Amount of memory in the CMA area.
|
|
- [RO] order_per_bit: Order of pages represented by one bit.
|
|
- [RO] bitmap: The bitmap of page states in the zone.
|
|
- [WO] alloc: Allocate N pages from that CMA area. For example::
|
|
|
|
echo 5 > <debugfs>/cma/<cma_name>/alloc
|
|
|
|
would try to allocate 5 pages from the 'cma_name' area.
|
|
|
|
- [WO] free: Free N pages from that CMA area, similar to the above.
