Hi all, I am using alloc_bootmem_page() function to allocate memory required in my custom ethernet driver . This driver reads buffer descriptors & data from the memory allocated by bootmem page. This memory is updated by CPM module. I am experiencing reliability issues with this driver. It works fine for some time & then behaves abnormally. When driver fails, the values read from the allocated memory does not make any sense. So I am thinking this could be because of cache since this driver is working fine on non-os platform. I want to disable the dcache for this memory region.
I am allocating about 700K of memory using alloc_bootmem_page() function. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I am running linux-2.4 on MCP8270 processor. I tried flushing the dcache before accessing the memory but no luck. Thanks for your time, Prashant
