caching - manipulate on chip cache of HDD -
i'm newbie on linux kernel development. i've read i/o ports ioremap virtual memory address space.
one of specifications of hdd cache - 32mb/64mb not rare.
here's questions:
how should driver developer handle such cache?
are transparent devs?
or shall map cache kernel address space, can use them directly?
any explanation/source code appreciated.
the cache on hdd ram physically located within drive (down sata/pata/usb cable) , therefore not part of ram located on motherboard.
tbh, if struggling this, recommend bit simpler first kernel hack :-)
