The problem is consistent_alloc(). When it was written, it didn't need to handle allocations from interrupts. However, the spec changed, and it does now. However, calling it from interrupt context is currently completely unsafe, and "stuff" needs to be rewritten to support it. (where "stuff" is more code than just consistent.c) We basically need to end up allocating and manipulating page tables from IRQ context without trampling on what vmalloc is doing. It's something on my to do list; it's a large amount of work, and it's just not high priority for me currently. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Stuff, things, and much much more. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
