Hello,
one small question... Will O_DSYNC flag be available in Linux?
It is available at least on AIX, and HP-UX. The difference with O_SYNC is the
same as between fsync and fdatasync.
Any comments?

I am against any API which provides this. It can be extremely
expensive to do this on some architectures, and since the rest
of the PCI dma API does not provide such an interface neither

Well, I stand corrected. Look forward to trying it out.

Hmm, so the Intel 815 and DMA doesn't mix with 2.2.x? What about
Andre's IDE patches?

I've got a Gateway here with a Intel 815 chipset running 2.2.18. Inside
it's a PIII 733 with 512MB and a Quantum lct15 drive.
The problem is that the IDE driver doesn't recognize the IDE
conroller, so DMA isn't enabled leading to some poor drive
performance. Here's the relevant sections from ls
