Thanks
i want to know how kernel does the job for bounce buffer.
i mean how kernel perform tasks of copying data and allocating bounce
buffer.
because if i give an address to a device for DMA then device will start
DMA from there so when kernel comes in picture i am confussed let me know
about this.
Thanks in advance
