CMA_MAX_NAME should be visible to CMA's users as they might need it to set
the name of CMA areas and avoid hardcoding the size locally.
So this patch moves CMA_MAX_NAME from local header file to include/linux
header file and removes the hardcode in both hugetlb.c and contiguous.c.Signed-off-by: Barry Song

Patch series "mm: fix the names of general cma and hugetlb cma", v2.
The current code of CMA can only work when users pass a const string as
name parameter. we need to fix the way to handle names in CMA. On the
other hand, to avoid name conflicts after enabling CMA_DEBUGFS, each
hugetlb should get a different CMA name.This patch (of 2):
If users give a name saved in stack, the current code will generate magic
pointer. if users don't give a name(NULL), kasprintf() will always return
NULL as we are at the early stage. that means cma_init_reserved_mem()
will return -ENOMEM if users set name parameter as NULL.[natechancellor@gmail.com: return cma->name directly in cma_get_name]

debugfs_create_u32_array() allocates a small structure to wrap
the data and size information about the array. If users ever
try to remove the file this leads to a leak since nothing ever
frees this wrapper.That said there are no upstream users of debugfs_create_u32_array()
that'd remove a u32 array file (we only have one u32 array user in
CMA), so there is no real bug here.Make callers pass a wrapper they allocated. This way the lifetime
management of the wrapper is on the caller, and we can avoid the
potential leak in debugfs.CC: Chucheng Luo

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

cma_bitmap_maxno() was marked as static and not static inline, which can
cause warnings about this function not being used if this file is included
in a file that does not call that function, and violates the conventions
used elsewhere. The two options are to move the function implementation
back to mm/cma.c or make it inline here, and it's simple enough for the
latter to make sense.Signed-off-by: Gregory Fong

Provides a userspace interface to trigger a CMA allocation.
Usage:
echo [pages] > alloc
This would provide testing/fuzzing access to the CMA allocation paths.

I've noticed that there is no interfaces exposed by CMA which would let me
fuzz what's going on in there.This small patchset exposes some information out to userspace, plus adds
the ability to trigger allocation and freeing from userspace.This patch (of 3):
Implement a simple debugfs interface to expose information about CMA areas
in the system.Useful for testing/sanity checks for CMA since it was impossible to
previously retrieve this information in userspace.Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin
