   4 Subject: [PATCH 0359/1085] mm,page_alloc,cma: introduce a customisable
   5  threshold for allocating pages in cma
   6
   7 On some platforms the cma area can be half the entire system memory,
   8 meaning that allocations start happening in the cma area immediately.
   9 This leads to fragmentation and subsequent fatal cma_alloc failures.
  10
  11 We introduce an "alloc_in_cma_threshold" parameter which requires that
  12 this many sixteenths of the free pages must be in cma before it will
  13 try to use them. By default this is set to 12, but the previous
  14 behaviour can be restored by setting it to 8 on startup.
