Hi, All Seems this is MIPS specific, but it's not that easy to move this patch into the arch/mips part, So, any better solution? Thanks & Regards, Wu Zhangjin ------------------------ The user application mmap audio dma regions must be dma-coherent. This patch fix it. Without this patch, artsd will fail on boot, and mplayer will exit with "Segmentation fault". (this happens on YeeLoong netbook, fuloong2f mini pc with snd_cs5535 audio card) This is originally from the to-mips branch of http://dev.lemote.com/code/linux_loongson, and contributed by Yanhua from Lemote Inc.
