As i have not found position where memory is allocated (this is a very huge and dirty driver) is it maybe possible to check if buf is such "allready dma" memory (maybe is_vmalloc_addr) and call dma_single_map only if not (using original buf if yes)?

But i guess it should map only a part of available (pre-allocated) memory and other parts of this are used somewhere else. So i can ran into some issues caused by sharing this full block in different functions.
Hi,

Thanks for first suggestions.
regards Frank
