Subject: [PATCH 4/7] mm: cma: Export dma_contiguous_default_area
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 17:41:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225-dma-buf-heaps-as-modules-v1-4-2109225a090d@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260225-dma-buf-heaps-as-modules-v1-0-2109225a090d@kernel.org>
The CMA dma-buf heap uses the dev_get_cma_area() inline function that
would either return the content of device.cma_area or the content of
dma_contiguous_default_area.
The latter holds a pointer to the default CMA region, and is stored in a
public variable. However, that variable isn't exported which prevents to
use dev_get_cma_area() in modules.
Since we want to turn the CMA heap into a module, let's export
dma_contiguous_default_area to allow modules to use dev_get_cma_area().
