While trying to get boot-logo up on exynos5420 SMDK which has eDP panel connected with resolution 2560x1600, following error occured even with IOMMU enabled: [0.880000] [drm:lowlevel_buffer_allocate] *ERROR* failed to allocate buffer. [0.890000] [drm] Initialized exynos 1.0.0 20110530 on minor 0
This patch fixes the issue by adding a check for IOMMU.

if (!is_drm_iommu_supported(dev))flag = 0;elseflag = EXYNOS_BO_NONCONTIG;While noncontig memory might be used for devices that support IOMMU, there should be no problem with using contig memory for them, so this seems more like masking the original problem rather than tracking it down.
it is probably a good idea to not require contig memory when it is not needed for performance or functionality (and if it is only performance, then fallback gracefully to non-contig).. but yeah, would be good to know if this is masking another issue all the same
Whats happening with CONTIG flag and with IOMMU, is
__iommu_alloc_buffer() ---> dma_alloc_from_contiguous() and in this function it fails at this condition check if (pageno >= cma->count)
So I tried increasing the CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_MBYTES to 24, this check succeeds and it works well without my patch.
But what about the case where CONFIG_CMA is disabled , yet i want bigger memory for a device. I think using IOMMU we can achieve this.
correct me, if i am wrong.
BR, -R
Could you check why the allocation fails when requesting contiguous memory?
