2010-08-14Documentation: DMA-API-HOWTO.txt: rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ↵FUJITA Tomonori1-3/+3
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN was renamed to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (the commit a6eb9fe105d5de0053b261148cee56c94b4720ca). ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN must be defined instead of ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ensure that kmalloc'ed buffer is DMA-safe.

2010-05-27Documentation: move the error handling to the better place in DMA-API-HOWTOFUJITA Tomonori1-30/+30
Handing DMA mapping errors is essential. Let's put it in the more appropriate place rather than the end of the doc. Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
