My recommendation - don't do this. Why do you need to allocate this big chunk of consistent memory in the first place? You can do DMA _without_ allocating "consistent" memory. In fact, this is how virtually all devices work in Linux. For more info about DMA API - look at Documentation/DMA-API.txt. Technically, you can make consistent pool bigger, if you really insist on using this approach. -- Eugene
