Subject: Badness in dma_alloc_init
Date: Mon, 09 Jan 2006 14:31:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <43C25787.4010204@iki.fi> (raw)
Hi all,
I'm having some trouble with the DMA allocation using Linux 2.6.14-rc2 +
some platform modifications. Namely, the dma_alloc_coherent() function
returns bogus virtual addresses causing machine check exceptions. At
boot, the kernel complains there is something wrong, but I cannot figure
out how to fix it. CONFIG_CONSISTENT_START is at its default value,
0xff100000. Any hints where to look further?
Oh, this is a custom 8xx board. Has the support for DMA in 8xx been
unstable at the time of pre-2.6.14?
