Well, in short I fail to see now how radeon/TTM allocates and maps the memory used for the test into the AGP GART resp. which functions are called the way down from the radeon driver to the AGPGART driver (radeon->TTM->(DRM?)->AGP). I guess I should ask Google for some TTM/DRM documentation. :) > > Doesn't that limit the maximum usable memory for radeon/TTM to the > > vmalloc space? > > That could only be relevant for kernel mappings.
