[PATCH v2 3/5] mtd: nand: omap2: Fix high memory dma prefetch transfer

From: Franklin S Cooper Jr
Date: Thu Oct 15 2015 - 13:38:40 EST


Based on DMA documentation and testing using high memory buffer when
doing dma transfers can lead to various issues including kernel
panics.

To workaround this simply use cpu copy. The amount of high memory
buffers used are very uncommon so no noticeable performance hit should
be seen.
