Hi Takashi et al,
I did a bit more research, please find my findings at the end of the email.

With a lot of printk output I finally found out what's happening and I think
Takashi you mentioned that there is only one map area available, so I think
my findings proove that opinion of yours.
The problem is occurring in the following function in
arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c at around line 700:
/*
* Create userspace mapping for the DMA-coherent memory.
*/
int arm_dma_mmap(struct device *dev, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
void *cpu_addr, dma_addr_t dma_addr, size_t size,
struct dma_attrs *attrs)
{
int ret = -ENXIO;
#ifdef CONFIG_MMU
unsigned long nr_vma_pages = (vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start) >>
PAGE_SHIFT;
unsigned long nr_pages = PAGE_ALIGN(size) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
unsigned long pfn = dma_to_pfn(dev, dma_addr);
unsigned long off = vma->vm_pgoff;
vma->vm_page_prot = __get_dma_pgprot(attrs, vma->vm_page_prot);
if (dma_mmap_from_coherent(dev, vma, cpu_addr, size, &ret))
return ret;
if (off < nr_pages && nr_vma_pages <= (nr_pages - off)) {
ret = remap_pfn_range(vma, vma->vm_start,
pfn + off,
vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start,
vma->vm_page_prot);
}
#endif /* CONFIG_MMU */
return ret;
}
When this function is called first (by snd_pcm_lib_default_mmap and so on)
the if clause is executed (calling remap_pfn_range) because of the following
parameters:
off = 0
nr_pages = 2
nr_vma_pages = 2
while when called the second time (because asking aplay to play a stereo
audio file) the parameters are these
off = 16
nr_pages = 2
nr_vma_pages = 2
and so the if clause is not executed, remap_pfn_range is not called and the
return value ret remains in its initialised state of -ENXIO
(dma_mmap_from_coherent is succeeding and so ret is not changed).
So what can I do to make this work?
Thank you
Axel
