*
* A COMEDI data buffer is allocated as individual pages, either in
* conventional memory or DMA coherent memory, depending on the attached,
* low-level hardware device. (The buffer pages also get mapped into the
* kernel's contiguous virtual address space pointed to by the 'prealloc_buf'
* member of &struct comedi_async.)
*
* The buffer is normally freed when the COMEDI device is detached from the
* low-level driver (which may happen due to device removal), but if it happens
* to be mmapped at the time, the pages cannot be freed until the buffer has
* been munmapped. That is what the reference counter is for. (The virtual
* address space pointed by 'prealloc_buf' is freed when the COMEDI device is
* detached.)
