Jul 31 15:51:17 what is a dma-safe buffer ? Jul 31 15:53:55 does it mean that it should be usable by DMA too ? Jul 31 15:54:16 Wormo_: nerdboy ^ Jul 31 23:20:41 ZeekHuge: still here? Jul 31 23:21:22 dma-safe buffer does mean it can be a source/destination for dma Jul 31 23:22:08 architectures can have limits on what address ranges can be used for dma Jul 31 23:25:12 the linux DMA API takes such limitations into account for each platform Aug 01 00:23:26 also if there is an IOMMU involved, allocating a DMA buffer takes care of setting up the IOMMU mapping **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Aug 01 02:59:58 2016
