Component CMA

Component Type: kbuild config

Description: Contiguous Memory Allocator

More info: This enables the Contiguous Memory Allocator which allows other subsystems to allocate big physically-contiguous blocks of memory. CMA reserves a region of memory and allows only movable pages to be allocated from it. This way, the kernel can use the memory for pagecache and when a subsystem requests for contiguous area, the allocated pages are migrated away to serve the contiguous request. If unsure, say "n".
