- It looks incorrect to use blk_rq_map_sg with pci_map_page here about
  DMA mappings. dma_map_sg?

- better to use dma_map_page instead of pci_map_page.

Hi All:

I try to alloc 4M memory for the DMA purpose in the 256M system running
V2.6.29. But failed.

I check the system, there is no 4M DMA memory in the DMA zone free list
indeed, So I'd like to
ask for that Is it possible for me to alloc 4M(or larger) DMA memory in
the linux system. 
if YES, HOW?

I forgot to say my hardware is based on X86. 

Thank you in advance.

There is still a bigphysarea patch around that works for me. (attached)  I
know of no other way using the hardware I need to do it with. IE, no
scatter/gather capabilities so memory must be contiguous. I personally
haven't used it with more than 2M but it should work.

Regards
Mark

Thanks, when this was written, dma_map_page() didn't exist yet.
