From d7be003a9d275299f5ee36bbdf156654f59e08e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Akinobu Mita Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2014 15:43:14 -0800 Subject: cma: make default CMA area size zero for x86 This makes CMA memory area size zero for x86 in default configuration (doesn't change on the other architectures). If default CMA size is zero, DMA_CMA is disabled. It can be enabled by passing cma= to the kernel. This makes less impact on x86. Because there is no mainline driver that requires it for x86, and Peter Hurley reported the performance regression, as this is trying to drive _all_ dma mapping allocations through a _very_ small window.
