Hello, I have a problem with our VME driver (sources see below) and high memory. I would like to transfer the content of a user space alloced buffer to another VME device using DMA (see vme4l-core.c->vme4l_zc_dma()). The actual driver version uses page_address() and virt_to_bus() to get the bus addresses needed to fill the DMA scatter list. Unfortunately this is not working with highmem. I tried with page_to_phys() instead of page_address/virt_to_bus which seems to work. But is this correct for all architectures? As far as I understood I have to use the bus addresses and not the physical addresses to fill the DMA scatter list. Maybe someone knows an example where I can have a look at, or any other suggestions?
