Hello Andrew, Thanks for your comments. I will try to address them in the next round of CMA patches. On Saturday, October 15, 2011 1:30 AM Andrew Morton wrote: (snipped)

Maybe the design is that only DMA core calls into here (if so, that's good).
Drivers should not call it, it is intended to be used by low-level DMA code. Do you think that a comment about missing EXPORT_SYMBOL is required? Best regards -- Marek Szyprowski Samsung Poland R&D Center
