The e100 driver triggers BUG_ON(buf->direction != dir) by doing pci_map_single(..., PCI_DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL) and pci_dma_sync_single_for_device(..., PCI_DMA_TODEVICE). I'm guessing it's allowed to do that and that something like the patch below is called for?No, it is not allowed to do that - that's why it's called "BUG_ON". Changing the DMA direction, especially with dmabounce will result in unexpected behaviour.okay, how about this patch... only compile tested as I couldn't get net-next-2.6 to boot on my test machine. I'll get some testing done on this, but in the meantime.... e100: fix dma error in direction for mapping From: Jesse Brandeburg <redacted>
