Hello, In fact, without that patch, watermark checking has a problem in current kernel. If there is reserved CMA region, watermark check for high order allocation is done loosly. See following thread. https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/30/320 Your patch can fix this situation, so, how about submitting this patch separately?
