I'm unclear why busdma can't help you. You get access to both the PA and VA via the busdma interface. Otherwise, it would be impossible to write a network driver. The PA is given to you in the bus_dmamap_load's callback function's segs and nseg argument. The VA is passed in via the bus_dmamap_load's 'buf' address and is allocated elsewhere. The typical usage is to fill in what you are calling the sg_table in the callback and start the device's DMA. You can get to this information at runtime, but it causes driver portability problems and its use is strongly discouraged. Since the busdma functions deal with all these details, including bounce buffering on large memory configurations, thier use is strongly encouraged. If I'm not understanding your needs, then you can find all you need in the i386/i386/pmap.c and i386/include/pmap.h. The vm mapping functions can be found in include/vm*.h and vm/vm*.c. Careful study is needed to use them correctly, although some of them are documented in man pages. Warner > Best wishes, > > Hong > > -----邮件原件----- > 发件人: M.
