Subject: Re: [PATCH] move consistent_dma_mask to the generic device
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2004 22:57:02 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040227065702.GB561561@sgi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1077814394.2662.86.camel@mulgrave>

I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it looks good.

If you're going to get rid of pci_dev.consistent_dma_mask in favor
of pci_dev.dev.coherent_dma_mask, would you want to do the same
with pci_dev.dma_mask?

Which brings to mind a second question; why is device.dma_mask
a u64 * instead of u64?  Does it typically point to pci_dev.dma_mask?

thanks

jeremy
