It can be desirable to reserve memory in a CMA area before it is activated, early in boot. Such reservations would effectively be memblock allocations, but they can be returned to the CMA area later. This functionality can be used to allow hugetlb bootmem allocations from a hugetlb CMA area. A new interface, cma_reserve_early is introduced. This allows for pageblock-aligned reservations. These reservations are skipped during the initial handoff of pages in a CMA area to the buddy allocator. The caller is responsible for making sure that the page structures are set up, and that the migrate type is set correctly, as with other memblock allocations that stick around. If the CMA area fails to activate (because it intersects with multiple zones), the reserved memory is not given to the buddy allocator, the caller needs to take care of that.

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 reStructuredText 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.
