SubjectRe: [Q] How can I transfer data from hard disk to PCI device'smemory
Date
Thank you for your reply, and I am very pleasant to talk with you. ^^

But english is not mother tongue, so I am little confused about your
sentence.

At above sentence, you mean that

'To handle O_DIRECT I/O, stuff like page reference is needed.

But some HW(expecially old HW) doesn't have PCI space,

so that it needs much additional work to add a PCI-PCI transferring.'

Do I understand right?


Please reply, thanks.
