The hisi_sas maintainer is experimenting with a patch that will change
the driver's 33 page allocations to single page allocations. If there is
no significant performance impact, that could be a way forward to deal
with the fragmentation issue costing us up to 31M of CMA.
In addition, there is DMA

Why would it fail to init? If CMA allocation fails, the kernel will
fulfill the request using alloc_pages_node():
struct page *__dma_direct_alloc_pages(struct device *dev, size_t size,
dma_addr_t *dma_handle, gfp_t gfp, unsigned long attrs)

I find this "Mellonox 25Gigabit-64bit-SFP28-2port– PCIe3.0
X8–15B3-1015-2" card can require 260M CMA memory. If we insert 2 or
3...4 Mellonox card, this card will fail to init it, so we should
disable this cma config or set 1024M or above CMA memory.

As per Seth's suggestion, I tried ratelimiting the cma_alloc messages:

Note that in current disco things have gotten worse - our single page
allocations have blown up to 11753:

The culprit for the 256 33 page allocations (that causes the
fragmentation mentioned in comment #8) is the hisi_sas_v3_hw driver:

That wastage is pretty awful.
You might want try a patch to at least ratelimit the cma_alloc errors.
Not that it's a real solution, but it might be something we can apply to
mitigate the problem short-term while continuing to search for something
better.

I only had time to look briefly, but here's a few notes. Firstly, a
workaround for now is passing cma=0 on the kernel command line.
I feel like there must be something wrong here if everything just works
fine with CMA turned off, because obviously devices are getting CMA
allocations when they don'
Note that this appears to be a regression introduced by bug 1803206.
Disabling DMA_CMA avoids it - but obviously would regress bug 1803206.

The disco kernel uses CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_MBYTES=16, while the arm64
defconfig sets it to 32. I tried bumping up this setting by powers of 2
until the messages went away, and it finally did at 128, which seems
extreme. Need to figure out what is attempting these allocations, and
why they are failing.
