Look, what else to say? The patch is there, it has been confirmed to work, and it still works here. See #10 on this list. If the Ubuntu team does not want to pick it up, nor the kernel team wants to pick it up, nothing will happen. If anyone is having a better fix, also go along. Until then, see

The problem is not which DMA mask the kernel assigns to the module. The problem is what the kernel does if the memory to be accessed via the emu10k1 DMA is *not* in range of the DMA mask. The emu10k1 reaches the 30 bit address space just fine, as my all-day experience tells me. What the kernel

Well, I've got a bit futher: 1) One can get i2c access mostly reliable when the drm.debug option is set high. Thus, whether or not the i2c interface works is likely a matter of timing. Could it be that the bit-banging interface is too critical to reach the chip in all cases? If so, where could

It most certainly does. However: Current kernel hackers seem to prefer to work around the situation by reverting to a timidity based software emulation of midi. It is not exactly the same as the emu10k1 midi, and - if you ask me - is of lower quality. Thus, at least kernel developers have a

I don't quite understand your comment. The above fix applies to the AMD64 platform. There is no such thing as a 32bit DMA zone on x86, but still the kernel might want to allocate physical addresses for the buffer memory beyond the 2GB barrier (bit 31 set), thus it is prone to failure in any system

The problem with this goes a bit deeper. The reason for all this trouble is that the emu10k1 chipset requires DMA from main memory to pick up the samples, and - unfortunately - the DMA engine of the chip is broken. Instead of using the full range of 32 bit DMA available on the PCI bus, it only
