I can't find a way to forward-redirect from Gmail, so I'm Ccing Dafna
who found a regression caused by this commit. Dafna, can you give all
the details, including the log and how you are reproducing it?

I saw the conversation there. Sorry for not replying yet.
May we discuss there since there are full logs available?

Thanks

Hi,
I compiled vivid as built-in into the kernel (not as a separate module) for nitrogen8m device (imx8) and
set it to use contig dma for mem_ops by adding the kernel param
vivid.allocators=1,1,...

I use this devicetree patch for the dtb file: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/24/789. Although it should
be the same on any Aarch64 platform.

Then, on the board I run the command:

v4l2-ctl -d3 -v width=2592,height=1944,pixelformat=UYVY,bytesperline=5184 --stream-mmap --stream-to video.UYVY

In every run there is a different crash. Here is one of them: https://pastebin.com/xXgbXMAN

Both dma_alloc_from_contiguous() and dma_release_from_contiguous()
are very simply implemented, but requiring callers to pass certain
parameters like count and align, and taking a boolean parameter to
check __GFP_NOWARN in the allocation flags. So every function call
duplicates similar work:
  /* A piece of example */
  unsigned long order = get_order(size);
  size_t count = size >> PAGE_SHIFT;
  page = dma_alloc_from_contiguous(dev, count, order, gfp & __GFP_NOWARN);
  [...]
  dma_release_from_contiguous(dev, page, size >> PAGE_SHIFT);

Additionally, as CMA can be used only in the context which permits
sleeping, most of callers do a gfpflags_allow_blocking() check and
a corresponding fallback allocation of normal pages upon any false
result:
  /* A piece of example */
  if (gfpflags_allow_blocking(flag))
      page = dma_alloc_from_contiguous();
  if (!page)
      page = alloc_pages();
  [...]
  if (!dma_release_from_contiguous(dev, page, count))
      __free_pages(page, get_order(size));

So this patch simplifies those function calls by abstracting these
operations into the two new functions: dma_{alloc,free}_contiguous.

As some callers of dma_{alloc,release}_from_contiguous() might be
complicated, this patch just implements these two new functions to
kernel/dma/direct.c only as an initial step.

Changelog
v2->v3:
 * Added missing "static inline" in header file to fix build error.
v1->v2:
 * Added new functions beside the old ones so we can replace callers
   one by one later.
 * Applied new functions to dma/direct.c only, because it's the best
   example caller to apply and should be safe with the new functions.
