[PATCH] firewire: fw-ohci: use dma_alloc_coherent for ar_buffer

From: Jarod Wilson
Date: Wed Mar 12 2008 - 17:44:15 EST


Currently, we do nothing to guarantee we have a consistent DMA buffer for
asynchronous receive packets. Rather than doing several sync's following a
dma_map_single() to get consistent buffers, just switch to using
dma_alloc_coherent().

Resolves constant buffer failures on my own x86_64 laptop w/4GB of RAM and
likely to fix a number of other failures witnessed on x86_64 systems with
4GB of RAM or more.
