Any write request to /dev/cma_test will let the module to allocate memory from
CMA, for example:

1st time
$ echo 1024 > /dev/cma_test
will require cma_test to request 1MB(1024KB)
2nd time
$ echo 2048 > /dev/cma_test
will require cma_test to request 2MB(2048KB)

Any read request to /dev/cma_test will let the module to free the 1st valid
memory from CMA, for example:

1st time
$ cat /dev/cma_test
will require cma_test to free the 1MB allocated in the first write request
2nd time
$ cat /dev/cma_test
will require cma_test to free the 2MB allocated in the second write request

I missed the earlier times this was posted and read up on it now.

I think it should be in mm/cma-test.c, along with kmemleak-test.c. It would be nice
if you could add some code that just runs at boot time (or when the module is
loaded) and allocates and frees memory using CMA.

Do you actually need this device? It's not connected to hardware so
it doesn't actually do DMA and we might as well pass a NULL pointer
into dma_alloc_*().

A better place for this is really debugfs. The driver is not meant as a stable
kernel interface that applications can rely on, it's purely a debugging help.

Just make this

	ret = debugfs_create_file("cma-test", 0600, NULL, NULL, &cma_test_fops);

we did have some discussions about this at:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg163548.html

i'd say both are acceptable to me.
