[PATCH -mm 0/3] Documentation: convert PCI-DMA-mapping.txt to use the generic DMA API

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The PCI DMA API is just the wrapper of the DMA API after the patchset
in -mm:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126596737604808&w=2

Driver writers are always able to use the DMA API with any bus. Now we
can remove the PCI DMA API in Documentation and tell driver writers to
use the DMA API at ll times.

This renames PCI-DMA-mapping.txt to DMA-API-HOWTO.txt and rearrange
two DMA-API docs in the following way:

- DMA-API.txt gives a concise description of the DMA API.
- DMA-API-HOWTO.txt is a guide that provides actual code examples of how
to use the DMA API.
