Christoph, Alan, > If it is allocating / freeing this memory all the time in the hot path > it should really use a dma pool (see include/ilinux/dmapool.h). > The dma coherent APIs aren't really built for being called in the > hot path. hcd_buffer_free uses a combination of dma pools and dma coherent APIs: ... for (i = 0; i < HCD_BUFFER_POOLS; i++) { if (size <= pool_max[i]) { dma_pool_free(hcd->pool[i], addr, dma); return; } } dma_free_coherent(hcd->self.sysdev, size, addr, dma); Alan, can dma_free_coherent be delayed to a point when IRQs are enabled?
