Hello all,

I have a question...

In the comedi core, the asynchronous 'prealloc_buf' is vmap'ed after
the page list has been allocated. The code in question looks like this:

                        async->prealloc_buf =
#ifdef PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE
                                vmap(pages, n_pages, VM_MAP, 
PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE);
#else
                                vmap(pages, n_pages, VM_MAP, PAGE_KERNEL);
#endif

Is the #ifdef something left over from an older kernel?

Isn't PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE always defined?

Unfortunately not; it's arch dependent. Neither ARM nor PowerPC define it, for example.
