Christoph, if you are okay with this I can quickly post a patch.
We use a dma_addr of all-Fs as an error code, see the definition of DMA_MAPPING_ERROR. The rationale of why we think it is safe: We don't do single byte mappings, so the last address of the address space can't effectively be used for anything. So I think it would be a good fit here. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
