Hi guys

I am using pci_alloc_consistent system call in one of
the driver. I need to get 16 mb of consistent memory.
But i am seeing that i can get maximum 4mb of memory
through pci_alloc_consistent or get_free_pages. Is
there anyway we can get 16mb of consistent memory from
the OS. I am using kernel version 2.4.7.

Um, 2MB on 2.4. MAX_ORDER=10 as far as I recall back on 2.4.
On 2.5 it's 11 and you can get 4MB max.

Please read the mailing list...I answered this question just
a few hours ago.
