Name
dma_alloc_from_coherent —
try to allocate memory from the per-device coherent area
Synopsis
int dma_alloc_from_coherent ( | struct device * dev, |
| | ssize_t size, |
| | dma_addr_t * dma_handle, |
| | void ** ret); |
Arguments
dev
device from which we allocate memory
size
size of requested memory area
dma_handle
This will be filled with the correct dma handle
ret
This pointer will be filled with the virtual address
to allocated area.
Description
This function should be only called from per-arch dma_alloc_coherent
to support allocation from per-device coherent memory pools.
Returns 0 if dma_alloc_coherent should continue with allocating from
generic memory areas, or !0 if dma_alloc_coherent should return ret.
