[PATCH 1/4] mm: cma: Don't crash on allocation if CMA area can't be activated

From: Michal Nazarewicz <hidden>
Date: 2014-10-23 16:53:45
Also in: linux-mm, linux-sh, lkml

If activation of the CMA area fails its mutex won't be initialized,
leading to an oops at allocation time when trying to lock the mutex. Fix
this by failing allocation if the area hasn't been successfully actived,
and detect that condition by moving the CMA bitmap allocation after page
block reservation completion.

As a matter of fact, this is present in kernels earlier than 3.17 but in
the 3.17 the code has been moved from drivers/base/dma-contiguous.c to
mm/cma.c so this might require separate stable patch.  I can track this
and prepare a patch if you want.
