Now consider this call stack from MMC block driver (this is on the ARmv7 based board): [ 98.918174] [<c001b50c>] (v7_dma_inv_range+0x30/0x48) from [<c0017b8c>] (dma_cache_maint_page+0x1c4/0x24c) [ 98.927819] [<c0017b8c>] (dma_cache_maint_page+0x1c4/0x24c) from [<c0017c28>] (___dma_page_cpu_to_dev+0x14/0x1c) [ 98.937982] [<c0017c28>] (___dma_page_cpu_to_dev+0x14/0x1c) from [<c0017ff8>] (dma_map_sg+0x3c/0x114)OK, so this is showing that ARM itself is making the assumption that the pages are contiguous in the page offset map. Fix this by doing the increment via the pfn, which will do the right thing whatever the memory model. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <redacted>
Thanks James. Yes, it make sense to fix the ARM code itself if it is the only one giving this trouble. I have tried your change below and it also fixes this issue (without having my blk-merge patch). I will forward your change to Russel King to see what he thinks about it. Regards, Subhash
