Hi,

I'm trying to get user pointer streaming with UVC webcams working. I already got a patch from Laurent Pinchart (thanks) which enables user pointer streaming. This patch works if I pass malloc()'d memory to the driver. My problem is that I want to use mmap()'d memory (via /dev/mem) and this type of memory (flags VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP are set) is not supported to be used with get_user_pages to map the memory to the kernel space.

So, is there another way to map the pages into the kernel space to be used for user pointer streaming?? I had a look at kmap (kmap_atomic)... would this be possible??

Thanks,
Andreas
