Subject: virt_to_page(pci_alloc_consistent())
Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2002 02:38:14 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021003023814.A5856@devserv.devel.redhat.com> (raw)

Guys,

I just noticed that sound drivers use the address from
pci_alloc_consistent() as the input to virt_to_page() all
over the place. I looked into the Documentation/DMA-mapping.txt,
and it says:

  This routine will allocate RAM for that region, so it acts similarly to
  __get_free_pages (but takes size instead of a page order).

I know for fact I got it wrong in sparc in whole 2.4, and it seems
RMK got it wrong in arm. I suggest other architecture maintainers
to look at it ASAP. May even be oopsabe, by indexing outside of
mem_map[] with a suitable sound driver.
