··· 47 47 Moreover, a device ID is necessary to bind a driver directly to an ACPI device 48 48 node, but device IDs are not generally associated with all of them. Some of 49 49 them contain alternative information allowing the corresponding pieces of 50 - hardware to be identified, for example represeted by an _ADR object return 50 + hardware to be identified, for example represented by an _ADR object return 51 51 value, and device IDs are not used in those cases. In consequence, confusingly 52 52 enough, binding an ACPI driver to an ACPI device node may even be impossible. 53 53

··· 38 38 At the lowest level the P2P subsystem offers a naked struct p2p_provider that 39 39 delegates lifecycle management to the providing driver. It is expected that 40 40 drivers using this option will wrap their MMIO memory in DMABUF and use DMABUF 41 - to provide an invalidation shutdown. These MMIO addresess have no struct page, and 41 + to provide an invalidation shutdown. These MMIO addresses have no struct page, and 42 42 if used with mmap() must create special PTEs. As such there are very few 43 43 kernel uAPIs that can accept pointers to them; in particular they cannot be used 44 44 with read()/write(), including O_DIRECT.
