Matti Linnanvuori 97a34eb77c doc: fix an incorrect suggestion to pass NULL for PCI like buses
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).

Matti Linnanvuori 819e32377e Consistently use pdev as the variable of type struct pci_dev *.
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.
Bug 10397.

Matthew Wilcox d1482f40c9 Update DMA-mapping documentation
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.

Jan Beulich caa5171622 PCI: remove pci_dac_dma_... APIs
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).

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"

Matt LaPlante 84eb8d0608 Fix "can not" in Documentation and Kconfig
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.

Rolf Eike Beer b9432e4d88 [PATCH] Remove pci_dac_set_dma_mask() from Documentation/DMA-mapping.txt
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().

David Brownell 21440d3133 [PATCH] dma doc updates
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.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
