Bug Description
[Impact]
The option CONFIG_DMA_CMA seems to cause hibernation failures on the t2.* instance types (Xen).
With this option enabled device drivers are allowed to use the Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) for DMA operations. So, drivers can allocate large physically-
However, on resume, the memory used by DMA needs to be re-initialized / re-allocated, but it may fail to allocate large chunks of contiguous memory due to the fact that we also need to restore the hibernation image, using more memory and causing a system hang during the resume process.
[Test case]
Hibernate / resume any t2.* instance (especially t2.nano, where the problem seems to happen 100% of the times after 2 consecutive hibernate/resume cycles).
[Fix]
Disable CONFIG_DMA_CMA.
NOTE: this option is already disabled in the generic kernel (see LP: #1362261).
With this option disabled the success rate of hibernation on the t2.*
instance types during our tests jumped to 100%.
[Regression potential]
It is a .config change, no regression potential except for the fact that disabling this option also disables the module 'etnaviv' (Vivante graphic card), that is not really needed in the aws kernel.
