Dear all,
I connected a pencam (stv0680) to an ADS bitsy board.
I have added the driver for the stv0680 to the kernel, and everything is
fine, except that I get the message 'unable to map unsafe buffer'.
The buffer requested by the video driver is just over 77k.
sa1111_map_single() includes a comment
/* we assume here that a buffer will never be >=64k */
and alloc_safe_buffer does not seem to like buffers over 16K.
I can get it to work by increasing SIZE_LARGE to 128 Kbyte, but
I have no idea whether that violates any page constraints or whether
that wastes a lot of memory.
Does anyone know a proper way to get around this error message?
Do I need an XL pool? I use the 2.4.9 kernel (the last one patched
by ADS), but poking around in recent kernels suggests that this part
hasn't changed.
Thanks in advance,
