Subject: multisegment bus_dmamem_alloc()

Are there any other devices other than bktr(4) that could benefit from a multisegment bus_dmamem_alloc(9) routine? The old USB system comes to mind, but I have not studied the new USB. There may be others. NetBSD only partially implements this (if the number page allocated > number of segments, they punt and do a totally contiguous allocation - IMO, they could fix this pretty easy though). I know chages to contigmalloc() is a tricky subject. I was hoping there are enough drivers that would provide enough merits to change such an important part of the system. If not, please forgive this noise. --Mark Tinguely _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
