Hello dear list readers,
I've been googling on the topic for a couple of minutes and I got some question. If PCI bus mastering means the device gets the control over the bus and does all device voodoo is it possible to achieve the same effects without using mastering? To be more specific: if the device wrote some - let's say register for example - to a memory location, would the result be identical if a kernel read the same register from a device and stored it somewhere in memory? Or does mastering trigger some special stuff in a device so it acts different? kind regards /mb - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
