Subject: [PATCH v2 0/9] dma-buf: heaps: Turn heaps into modules
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 14:15:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260227-dma-buf-heaps-as-modules-v2-0-454aee7e06cc@kernel.org> (raw)
Hi,
The recent introduction of heaps in the optee driver [1] made possible
the creation of heaps as modules.
It's generally a good idea if possible, including for the already
existing system and CMA heaps.
The system one is pretty trivial, the CMA one is a bit more involved,
especially since we have a call from kernel/dma/contiguous.c to the CMA
heap code. This was solved by turning the logic around and making the
CMA heap call into the contiguous DMA code.
Let me know what you think,
Maxime

Changes in v2:
- Collect tags
- Don't export dma_contiguous_default_area anymore, but export
dev_get_cma_area instead
- Mentioned that heap modules can't be removed
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260225-dma-buf-heaps-as-modules-v1-0-2109225a090d@kernel.org
