It is not a theoretically issue, it is a real case that the mapping failed issue happens in 3.14.y kernel but not happens in previous 3.10.y kernel. So I need your confirmation on it.
Thanks.
Best regards, Fancy Fang

Is this just a fix for something that can fail theoretically, or do you actually have a case where this happens? I am very reluctant to make any changes to videobuf. Drivers should all migrate to vb2.
I have CC-ed Marek as well since he knows a lot more about this stuff than I do.
