This actually is the same as the issue I had with the DMAR busdma on x86. You could see the trick used in the sys/x86/iommu/busdma_dmar.c:dmar_bus_dmamap_load_buffer(), the dumping case. I just allocated fictitious pages to cope with kernel core dump needing to DMA from memory which is not described by vm_page_array. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
