Hi, I repeat my question, the required no of pages are available, as shown in the dump produced by kernel, the request is not fulfilled. Its as follows: DMA: 106*4kB 11*8kB 5*16kB 3*32kB 2*64kB 1*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB = 944kB Why this is so?? ~Abu. -----Original Message----- From: Jesper Juhl [mailto:jesper.juhl@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 12:36 PM To: Abu M.

Why?? > There may be 32 pages available in total, but not 32 contiguous ones - that's a *lot* of contiguous pages to ask for in kernel space - 128KB (assuming a 4096 byte page size). -- Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com> Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - 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/ | ||||||||||||
