commit 4267739cab ("arch, mm: consolidate initialization of SPARSE memory model"),
changed the initialization order of "pageblock_order" from...
start_kernel()
- setup_arch()
- initmem_init()
- sparse_init()
- set_pageblock_order(); // this sets the pageblock_order
- xxx_cma_reserve();
to...
start_kernel()
- setup_arch()
- xxx_cma_reserve();
- mm_core_init_early()
- free_area_init()
- sparse_init()
- set_pageblock_order() // this sets the pageblock_order.
So this means, pageblock_order is not initialized before these cma
reservation function calls, hence we are seeing CMA failures like...
[ 0.000000] kvm_cma_reserve: reserving 3276 MiB for global area
[ 0.000000] cma: pageblock_order not yet initialized. Called during early boot?
[ 0.000000] cma: Failed to reserve 3276 MiB
....
[ 0.000000][ T0] cma: pageblock_order not yet initialized. Called during early boot?
[ 0.000000][ T0] cma: Failed to reserve 1024 MiB
This patch moves these CMA reservations to arch_mm_preinit() which
happens in mm_core_init() (which happens after pageblock_order is
initialized), but before the memblock moves the free memory to buddy.
