When I tried undefining NEED_RESERVE_PAGES for MIPS on 2.6.13, something did not work (I can not remember details...). But it seems things have been changed in 2.6.15. I'll try again.

Yes, there is still virt_to_page() in snd_pcm_mmap_data_nopage() and snd_malloc_sgbuf_pages(). If dma_mmap_coherent() was ported, former might disappear but latter might not. So it seems virt_to_page() issue still remains... >>>>> On Thu, 26 Jan 2006 17:02:53 +0100, Takashi Iwai said: tiwai> The memory allocation stuff in ALSA is being largely rewritten tiwai> on my local tree, but it's not released yet.
