What do you mean "sometimes not trivial" ? The DMA does nothing more than virt_to_phys(virt) to get the physical address. It's _that_ simple. If virt_to_phys(virt) is likely to fail, there's protection in the DMA API to BUG_ON() in that case. > Finally, the kernel will contain many similar routines that do same thing. So when we get coherent DMA, you won't care that the DMA API functions start doing nothing with caches? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
