I'm confused - if you got a DMA address back, then the allocation must
have succeeded, so what exactly is the issue there? If the allocator
managed to find a suitable amount of memory that your device can
address, does it really matter exactly where it came from?
Also bear in mind that a DMA address is not necessarily the same as a
physical address anyway, if for instance you have an IOMMU or other
forms of interconnect translation. In fact the default behaviour of the
intel-iommu driver for a PCI device is to allocate DMA addresses in
naturally-aligned regions downwards from 4GB - if the first request in
an empty address space was for 33MB, it would get rounded up to 64MB,
wouldn't fit at 4GB - 64MB (0xfc000000) because that would clash with
the IOAPIC region, so would end up at 4GB - 128MB (0xf8000000). Now
where have I seen that before?...
