Agreed, should have been done with ALLOC_CMA since the beginning.

More digits please.

Above this hunk you should also remove PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA from the test.

I don't like the modification through parameter, would just do what
current_gfp_context() does and return the modified value.
Also make it a no-op (including no READ_ONCE(current->flags)) if !CONFIG_CMA,
please.

I don't see why to move the test here? It will still be executed in the
fastpath, if that's what you wanted to avoid.

I would just replace this here with:
alloc_flags = current_alloc_flags(gfp_mask, alloc_flags);

And same here... Ah, I see. current_alloc_flags() should probably take a
migratetype parameter instead of gfp_mask then.
