I am sorry I haven't got your point yet. Do you mean something like the below?

arch/arm64/Kconfig:
config CMDLINE
string "Default kernel command string"
- default ""
+ default "pernuma_cma=16M"
help
Provide a set of default command-line options at build time by
entering them here. As a minimum, you should specify the the
root device (e.g. root=/dev/nfs).

A background of the current code is that Linux distributions can usually use arch/arm64/configs/defconfig
directly to build kernel. cmdline can be easily ignored during the generation of Linux distributions.

Not sure if it is an useful user case as we are using ACPI but not device tree since it is an ARM64
server with NUMA.

Will refine.

cma_alloc() is doing the check by returning NULL if cma is NULL.

struct page *cma_alloc(struct cma *cma, size_t count, unsigned int align,
bool no_warn)
{
...
if (!cma || !cma->count)
return NULL;
}

But I agree here the code can check before calling cma_alloc_aligned.

Good idea.

agreed.
