Ah, yes, just changing the buffer address doesn't guarantee a different bus address. I missed that.

What if you had a DMA API implementation which consolidates multiple mapping attempts of the same buffer into a single mapping entry (along with a reference count)? That would break the workaround. Isn't the proper fix to (a) get a new buffer, (b) create a mapping for the new buffer, (c) destroy the mapping for the old buffer. That should guarantee a different bus address, no matter what the DMA-mapping implementation. Plus then you don't have to rely on PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS. --david - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
