Hi Folks, I seem to be having (mis?)fortune of hitting every single roadblock on the way.. After applying patches for list_del and the ioremap, I am attempting to loadup bridge in another (and hopefully the last possible way): insmod ./bridgedriver.ko shm_size=0x400000 phys_mempool_base=0 base_img=/lib/dsp/baseimage.dof to do this I need a large enough dma_alloc_coherent pool. So, I changed CONFIG_FB_OMAP_CONSISTENT_DMA_SIZE=10 from 2 to get myself enough space for the driver to do dma_alloc_coherent. Over some 20-30 iterations, I hit the following crash! I added trace printks to every single dma_alloc_coherent and frees in the bridge driver, and the alloc and frees match - so no obvious leaks or pointer corruptions.. So, I wrote (yet another) dummy driver which allocates and frees the memory in the same order as the bridge does. The dummy driver functions correctly and does not crash after few 100s of iterations even! Now, interestingly at the start of every new iterations, the dummy driver gets the same virtual-physical address pair, but in the case of the bridge driver, the addresses change. I suspect that is a symptom of the problem though I do not know the reason why.. Insights are most welcome..
