Subject: [PATCH] kernel/dma: export dma_alloc_from_contiguous to modules

From: Miles Chen <[email protected]>

This change exports dma_alloc_from_contiguous and
dma_release_from_contiguous to modules.

Currently, we can add a reserve a memory node in dts files, make
it a CMA memory by setting compatible = "shared-dma-pool",
and setup the dev->cma_area by using of_reserved_mem_device_init_by_idx().

Export dma_alloc_from_contiguous and dma_release_from_contiguous, so we
can allocate/free from/to dev->cma_area in kernel modules.

As far as I understand, this was never intended for drivers to call
directly. If a device has its own private CMA area, then regular
dma_alloc_attrs() should allocate from that automatically; if that's not
happening already, then there's a bug somewhere.

Robin.

Thanks for your comment.
After using dma_direct_ops, dma_alloc_attrs() works fine now.
