From: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@steeleye.com> Date: Fri, 06 Dec 2002 12:29:10 -0600 How about (as Adam suggested) two dma allocation API's 1) dma_alloc_consistent which behaves identically to pci_alloc_consistent 2) dma_alloc which can take the conformance flag and can be used to tidy up the drivers that need to know about cache flushing. Now that the situation is much more clear, I'm feeling a lot better about this. I have only one request, in terms of naming. What we're really doing is adding a third class of memory, it really isn't consistent and it really isn't streaming. It's inconsistent memory meant to be used for "consistent memory things". So could someone come up with a clever name for this thing? :-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
