Re: how to get virtual address from dma address

[Linux Bigot <linuxopinion@yahoo.com>]

oops! I am sorry. I did not meant "pci_unmap_single"
pci_unmap_single.

I meant to get a routine which does exactly opposite
of what pci_map_single does, i.e., give me a virtual
address for a dma address.

Some people suggested, bus_to_virt() is not good a
call.

Thanks
