Right now I mainly use it to debug a driver, which would run out of host ram when I reloaded it > Second, you removed the EXPORT_SYMBOL for the old alloc, but > I didn't see quickly how a module would make use of the new > infrastructure since there weren't any new EXPORT_SYMBOLs. This is because I did my patch against 2.6.5, and all the EXPORT sympols are in arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c and not in commprocs.c In ppc_ksyms.c I have: extern uint m8260_cpm_dpalloc(uint size, uint align); extern uint m8260_cpm_hostalloc(uint size, uint align); extern uint m8260_cpm_hostfree(uint ptr); extern uint m8260_cpm_dpfree(uint ptr); EXPORT_SYMBOL(m8260_cpm_dpalloc); EXPORT_SYMBOL(m8260_cpm_hostalloc); EXPORT_SYMBOL(m8260_cpm_dpfree); EXPORT_SYMBOL(m8260_cpm_hostfree); > > -- > Tom Rini > http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ > ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
