Dear Arjan van de Ven,
I had misconstruction with
[Exception is that you can say that you are ok with a bigger mask for
this type of memory, but just don't do that if you're not]
it should be "pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pdev, DMA_32BIT_MASK)."
Best Regards
Erich Chen

Dear Arjan van de Ven,
I would keep dma_alloc_coherent usage.
[Exception is that you can say that you are ok with a bigger mask for
this type of memory, but just don't do that if you're not]
Should I remove "pci_set_dma_mask(pci_device, DMA_64BIT_MASK)" for this
case?
Best Regards
Erich Chen

coherent memory is guaranteed to be in the "lower" 32 bit of memory!
So that is good news, I think you are just fine.

When arcmsr get a physical ccb address from areca's firmware.
Does linux has any functions for converting of "bus to virtual" ?
not without using pools. You would have to search the list of memory you
gave it to find that out.
(USB has a similar problem, afaik they solved it with pools)
