That last aspect looks a bit off to me - the heaps don't seem to be
something that exist for the lifetime of the ION "device", given that
these are specific runtime alloc and free calls, rather than the probe
and remove routines. I don't know if CMA heaps are among those which ION
creates and destroys frequently (enough that it apparently kicks off a
whole background thread to manage the freeing), but this looks like a
recipe for leaks. If the free call doesn't actually free the buffer,
it's going to remain hanging around consuming precious CMA area until
the ION device itself is torn down, which is likely never.

I wouldn't say it's necessarily inappropriate to use managed DMA
resources here to cover unexpected failure cases for the ION device
itself (I see the comment in ion_device_remove()), but that means still
using dmam_free_coherent() when naturally releasing allocations for
other reasons (i.e. both cases here). Think Java finalisers, rather than
C++ destructors.

Robin.
