Hrm, this is a bug in the mxs driver (which is where we copied the core code from) - care to fix that too? > As we only call page_address such that we can pass a virtual address to s/such/so/

Yeah no problem, won't be able to test it, but should be a fairly trivial change and hopefully someone else can test. > > > As we only call page_address such that we can pass a virtual address to > > s/such/so/ Will ping a respin and include the mxs fixup too. Thanks, Charles

Ah... ok I think I see the difference here. The MXS architecture has CONFIG_HIGHMEM=n whereas Arndale has CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y. So that means on MXS all the pages will always be in low mem so I think will always be mapped into the kernel logical address space hence no problems. Not sure if it would be worth updating the driver or not, what do you think? Thanks, Charles

This is a user configurable option, it's not something that depends on the architecture (and in any case it's better not to leave people wondering why things are different when they consider consolidation).

Cool, I will do the respin then. Thanks, Charles

We can only use page_address on memory that has been mapped using kmap, when the buffer passed to the SPI has been allocated by vmalloc the page has not necessarily been mapped through kmap. This means sometimes page_address will return NULL causing the pointer we pass to sg_set_buf to be invalid. As we only call page_address such that we can pass a virtual address to sg_set_buf which will then immediately call virt_to_page on it, fix this by calling sg_set_page directly rather then relying on the sg_set_buf helper.
