2008-04-28doc: fix an incorrect suggestion to pass NULL for PCI like busesMatti Linnanvuori
Fix an incorrect suggestion to pass NULL to pci_alloc_consistent for PCI like buses where devices don't have struct pci_dev (like ISA, EISA).

2008-04-28Consistently use pdev as the variable of type struct pci_dev *.Matti Linnanvuori
Update DMA mapping documentation to use 'pdev' rather than 'dev' in example code that calls routines expecting 'struct pci_device *', since 'dev' might make readers think they're passing 'struct device *' parameters.

2007-10-17Update DMA-mapping documentationMatthew Wilcox
A couple of updates haven't considered whether the documentation makes sense as a whole any more. Three changes here: - Remove the reference to the "DAC Addressing for Address Space Hungry Devices" section which was deleted by Jan Beulich. - Remove the comment about DMA_24BIT_MASK which became obsolete when Tobias Klauser changed the code to actually use DMA_24BIT_MASK. - Remove the section "64-bit DMA and DAC cycle support" since it's fully covered above, and contains a reference to the section deleted by Jan.

2007-07-11PCI: remove pci_dac_dma_... APIsJan Beulich
Based on replies to a respective query, remove the pci_dac_dma_...() APIs (except for pci_dac_dma_supported() on Alpha, where this function is used in non-DAC PCI DMA code).

2006-10-03Documentation: remove duplicated wordsPaolo Ornati
Remove many duplicated words under Documentation/ and do other small cleanups. Examples: "and and" --> "and" "in in" --> "in" "the the" --> "the" "the the" --> "to the" ... Signed-off-by: Paolo Ornati <ornati@fastwebnet.it> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
2006-10-03Fix "can not" in Documentation and KconfigMatt LaPlante
Randy brought it to my attention that in proper english "can not" should always be written "cannot". I donot see any reason to argue, even if I mightnot understand why this rule exists. This patch fixes "can not" in several Documentation files as well as three Kconfigs.

2006-07-14[PATCH] Remove pci_dac_set_dma_mask() from Documentation/DMA-mapping.txtRolf Eike Beer
pci_dac_set_dma_mask() gives only a single match in the whole kernel tree and that's in this doc file. The best candidate for replacement is pci_dac_dma_supported().

2006-04-14[PATCH] dma doc updatesDavid Brownell
This updates the DMA API documentation to address a few issues: - The dma_map_sg() call results are used like pci_map_sg() results: using sg_dma_address() and sg_dma_len(). That's not wholly obvious to folk reading _only_ the "new" DMA-API.txt writeup. - Buffers allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() may not be completely free of coherency concerns ... some CPUs also have write buffers that may need to be flushed. - Cacheline coherence issues are now mentioned as being among issues which affect dma buffers, and complicate/prevent using of static and (especially) stack based buffers with the DMA calls. I don't think many drivers currently need to worry about flushing write buffers, but I did hit it with one SOC using external SDRAM for DMA descriptors: without explicit writebuffer flushing, the on-chip DMA controller accessed descriptors before the CPU completed the writes.

2006-04-11[PATCH] Last DMA_xBIT_MASK cleanupsTobias Klauser

2005-04-18[PATCH] remove old scsi data direction macros
these have been wrappers for the generic dma direction bits since 2.5.x. This patch converts the few remaining drivers and removes the macros. Arjan noticed there's some hunk in here that shouldn't. Updated patch below: Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
