I don't investigate more since I had not enough time to do. If I
remember correctly,
it's the page used by journaling. I attach my test script below to
help you reproduce it.
My test setup is:
- virtual machine, 8 cpus and 1024 MB mem (256 MB cma mem)
- ubuntu 16.04 with custom kernel
- filesystem is ext4

For 2GB CMA area, we need to check 8192(?) bytes in worst case scenario and
I don't think it's small enough for spinlock. Even, there is no limit
on the size of
the cma area. If cma area is bigger, it takes more. So, I think that
spinlock() isn't
good here.

Anyway, below is the test script that I used.

Thanks.
