I see a regression from linux-3.5 to linux-3.6 and think there might be
a fundamental problem
with this patch. On my Kirkwood system (guruplug server plus) with
linux-3.6.2 I see following
errors and corresponding malfunction even with further increased (2M,
4M) pool size:
Oct 19 00:41:22 guru kernel: ERROR: 4096 KiB atomic DMA coherent pool is
too small!
Oct 19 00:41:22 guru kernel: Please increase it with coherent_pool=
kernel parameter!
So I had to downgrade to linux-3.5 which is running without problems.
I use SATA and several DVB sticks (em28xx / drxk and dib0700).
I already sent this bug report to m.szyprowski and
gregory.clementearlier, but
Sebastian suggested to send it to the mailing list and the responsible
maintainers, too.
Please write to my e-mail directly if you have further questions or
patches for me to test.
Regards,
Soeren
