This is the core of simple allocator module.
It aim to offert one common ioctl to allocate specific memory.

+Simple Allocator Framework
+
+Simple Allocator offer a single ioctl SA_IOC_ALLOC to allocate buffers
+on dedicated memory regions and export them as a dmabuf file descriptor.
+Using dmabuf file descriptor allow to share this memory between processes
+and/or import it into other frameworks like v4l2 or drm/kms (prime).
+When userland wants to free the memory only a call to close() in needed
+so it could done even without knowing that buffer has been allocated by
+simple allocator ioctl.
+
+Each memory regions will be seen as a filein /dev/.
+For example CMA regions will exposed has /dev/cmaX.
+
+Implementing a simple allocator
+-------------------------------
+
+Simple Allocator provide helpers functions to register/unregister an
+allocator:
+- simple_allocator_register(struct sa_device *sadev)
+ Register simple_allocator_device using sa_device structure where name,
+ owner and allocate fields must be set.
+
+- simple_allocator_unregister(struct sa_device *sadev)
+ Unregister a simple allocator device.
+
+Using Simple Allocator /dev interface example
+---------------------------------------------
+
+This example of code allocate a buffer on the first CMA region (/dev/cma0)
+before mmap and close it.

+void main (void)
+{
+ struct simple_allocate_data data;
+ int fd = open("/dev/cma0", O_RDWR, 0);
+ int ret;
+ void *mem;
+
+ if (fd < 0) {
+ printf("Can't open /dev/cma0\n");
+ return;
+ }
+
+ memset(&data, 0, sizeof(data));
+
+ data.length = LENGTH;
+ data.flags = O_RDWR | O_CLOEXEC;
+
+ ret = ioctl(fd, SA_IOC_ALLOC, &data);
+ if (ret) {
+ printf("Buffer allocation failed\n");
+ goto end;
+ }
+
+ mem = mmap(0, LENGTH, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, data.fd, 0);
+ if (mem == MAP_FAILED) {
+ printf("mmap failed\n");
+ }
+
+ memset(mem, 0xFF, LENGTH);
+ munmap(mem, LENGTH);
+
+ printf("test simple allocator CMA OK\n");
+end:
+ close(fd);
