Hello all,
I have a question...
In the comedi core, the asynchronous 'prealloc_buf' is vmap'ed after
the page list has been allocated. The code in question looks like this:
async->prealloc_buf =
#ifdef PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE
vmap(pages, n_pages, VM_MAP, PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE);
#else
vmap(pages, n_pages, VM_MAP, PAGE_KERNEL);
#endif
Is the #ifdef something left over from an older kernel?
Isn't PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE always defined?
Thanks for any insight,
Hartley
