<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm using 8MB of memory for DMA and that space is configured has non-cacheable. At a certain point in the code, data is copied to be processed from that area. In the function that copies, there was an invalidate_dcache_range for the all DMA area. This function crashed my load in some particular scenario of heavy traffic. Why? Shouldn't invalidate_dcache_range be neutral when the range is configured as non-cacheable? I think that the memory is properly alined… Has anyone else had this problem?</FONT></P>
