my board design is based on SabreSD, and my kernel is 3.0.35, android release is android_jb_4.2.2_1.1.0.

After system running a time (one day or more) ,I found kernel report dma allocation failure as following message.

hi,raymondwang

I met the same issue when taking a 3M picture using ov3640 on imx53 QSB platform.

Have your problem been solved??

Wait for your answer...

Sorry for reply you so late!

I don't found root cause of that issue. With most threads help in freescale community, I just enlarge my DMA buffer and issue

seems fixed. You can review my source code tree in https://github.com/xhteam/kernel_imx

You can check commit history, I am sorry I have no time to find commit for that issue.
