Linville OK guys. Thanks for your support and sorry for the delay: I add to struggle with drm git to compile with 2.6.30-rc4-git3 (due to various non yet integraed things my automated rebuild procedure does git fetch for drm, xf86-video-nouveau, ...) , leading to no X server which for me is more annoying than a trace in a USB wireless driver that I seldom use only to test some new wireless feature (two GE port onboard). The patch fix the DMA warning and the driver seems to work (just associated it) but I must say that the allocation failure handling path and the fact that we use now kmalloc for allocating a few bytes in such a routine makes me worry about possible negative performance impact unless theses routines are used only in a slow configuration path (did no took time to red the code due to many other problems). BTW if someone know who I should send this attached patch for DRM git, I would gladly forward it. -- eric
