David Hildenbrand 3c381db1fa mm/page_alloc: count CMA pages per zone and print them in /proc/zoneinfo
Let's count the number of CMA pages per zone and print them in
/proc/zoneinfo.

Having access to the total number of CMA pages per zone is helpful for
debugging purposes to know where exactly the CMA pages ended up, and to
figure out how many pages of a zone might behave differently, even after
some of these pages might already have been allocated.

As one example, CMA pages part of a kernel zone cannot be used for
ordinary kernel allocations but instead behave more like ZONE_MOVABLE.

For now, we are only able to get the global nr+free cma pages from
/proc/meminfo and the free cma pages per zone from /proc/zoneinfo.

Example after this patch when booting a 6 GiB QEMU VM with
"hugetlb_cma=2G":
  # cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep cma
          cma      0
        nr_free_cma  0
          cma      0
        nr_free_cma  0
          cma      524288
        nr_free_cma  493016
          cma      0
          cma      0
  # cat /proc/meminfo | grep Cma
  CmaTotal:        2097152 kB
  CmaFree:         1972064 kB

Note: We print even without CONFIG_CMA, just like "nr_free_cma"; this way,
      one can be sure when spotting "cma 0", that there are definetly no
      CMA pages located in a zone.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
