Yes, it would. There is a strange scenario where if you request a DMA32 address it must be on the lowest node (where the DMA32 area is). But if you are running on a cpuset that excludes Node 0's memory, you'll get an error. But I couldn't think of a workable way to link the two (except that the PCI id is the same except for the function #.) >>> >>>> >>>> Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <tra...@sgi.com> >>>> Reviewed-by: Mike Habeck <hab...@sgi.com> >>>> --- >>>> sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c | 2 +- >>>> 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) >>>> >>>> diff --git a/sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c b/sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c >>>> index bcd40ee..45eb165 100644 >>>> --- a/sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c >>>> +++ b/sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c >>>> @@ -615,7 +615,7 @@ enum { >>>> /* quirks for Nvidia */ >>>> #define AZX_DCAPS_PRESET_NVIDIA \ >>>> (AZX_DCAPS_NVIDIA_SNOOP | AZX_DCAPS_RIRB_DELAY | >>>> AZX_DCAPS_NO_MSI |\ >>>> - AZX_DCAPS_ALIGN_BUFSIZE) >>>> + AZX_DCAPS_ALIGN_BUFSIZE | AZX_DCAPS_NO_64BIT) >>>> >>>> #define AZX_DCAPS_PRESET_CTHDA \ >>>> (AZX_DCAPS_NO_MSI | AZX_DCAPS_POSFIX_LPIB | >>>> AZX_DCAPS_4K_BDLE_BOUNDARY) >>>> >>> >>> >>> >> > > > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
