ALSA/USX2Y: mmap: Bad address snd-usb-usx2y module is for Tascam US-122, but newer Tascam US-122L used to be using snd-usb-us122l, so maybe this has something to do here? any progress made on this? I have just tried it today with 3.8.3 kernel and it still doesn't work for me. Used the sound card US-122L many years. Tried several kernels after 3.6 with the same result. Compiled kernel 3.9-RC2 yesterday. ALSA/USX2Y: map: Bad address. Is it possible to get something done about this? A patch or something, or do we have to continue to use old kernels? Compiled kernel 3.9-rc4. Still the same problem. ALSA/USX2Y: mmap: Bad address Compiled kernel 3.9-rc5. Still the same problem. ALSA/USX2Y: mmap: Bad address Possibly broken by the recent VM stuff update. Could you bisect? I will have to find out what bisect is first. Hope someone is able to do it. I think it happened from kernel 3.6 to 3.7 yep 3.6 was ok and 3.7+ was a disappointment, and in a sense of creativity it was a disaster. Excuse me if I'm getting too emotional saying that. Narrowed it down. Compiled kernel v3.6, and it worked. Compiled kernel v3.7-rc1, and it didn't work, so that's where it started. I don't know very much about bisect yet, unfortunately. OK, we bisected this to this commit: [v3,10/10] mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1258951/ I'm building a 3.7.0 kernel with this patch reverted to further test this, but I'm sure a revert is not the correct long term solution.

As I suspected, the US-122L works with JACK on 3.7.0 with this commit reverted. I should also add that in our testing, we found that though the older US-122 still works on 3.7, it subsequently breaks in 3.8-rc1. I do not know if the two problems are related. 3.9.3 kernel: ALSA/USX2Y: mmap: Bad address Still doesn't work with 3.9.4 Got my Tascam US122l working again with this tiny 1-line patch on the snd-usb-us122l module of kernel 3.8.0-25: [code] --- sound/usb/usx2y/us122l.c.bak 2013-06-19 21:58:20.854702978 +0200 +++ sound/usb/usx2y/us122l.c 2013-06-19 21:59:00.814703468 +0200 @@ -262,7 +262,7 @@ } area->vm_ops = &usb_stream_hwdep_vm_ops; - area->vm_flags |= VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP; + area->vm_flags |= VM_IO; area->vm_private_data = us122l; atomic_inc(&us122l->mmap_count); out: [/code] Seems like the wrong choice was made with replacing VM_RESERVED in this case. Not sure if this actually solves the whole problem though, as I don't know much about the kernel's memory management.. I can confirm that the above patch makes the US122L work in 3.9.8-1 too. The proper fixes have been merged to the upstream. They'll be backported to stable kernel soon. |
