The patch titled IB/ipath: use vmalloc to allocate struct ipath_devdata has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is ib-ipath-use-vmalloc-to-allocate-struct.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: IB/ipath: use vmalloc to allocate struct ipath_devdata From: "Bryan O'Sullivan" <bos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> This is not a DMA target, so no need to use dma_alloc_coherent on it.
