Integrating DMA Into the Generic Device Model

Submitted by admin on Thu, 2006-09-28 23:29

This paper will introduce the new DMA API for the generic device model, illustrating how it works and explaining the enhancements over the previous DMA Mapping API. In a later section we will explain (using illustrations from the PA-RISC platform) how conversion to the new API may be achieved hand in hand with a complete implementation of the generic device API for that platform.
