Hi,

I want to test a private cache for IDE R/W in 2.6.26.
Before develop the private cache, I need to do something with the IDE
read/write buffer.
If service a read command, I replace the DMA buffer address of sglist
by my buffer before transfer, and memcpy the received data(in my
buffer) to original DMA buffer of sglist.
If service a write command, I replace the DMA buffer address by my
buffer, and memcpy the write data from sglist to my buffer, then
transfer it.
I implement it on  linux-2.6.26/drivers/ata/libata-core.c.

I replace each DMA address of sglist as follow:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
       for_each_sg(qc->sg, sg, qc->n_elem, si) {
       u32 addr, len;
               addr = sg_dma_address(sg);
               len = sg_dma_len(sg);

               //if write command, copy data from DMA address to my buf
               if (qc->tf.command == ATA_CMD_WRITE || qc->tf.command ==
ATA_CMD_WRITE_EXT) {
                       memcpy(myBuf[si], bus_to_virt(addr), len);
               }

               //save orignal DAM address
               savedAddr[si] = (unsigned char *)addr;

               //replace DMA address by my buf
               sg_dma_address(sg) = myBuf[si];
       }
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The book Linux Device Driver say that driver can not access DMA sg
between dma_map_sg and dma_unmap_sg, so I implement them before
dma_map_sg and after dma_unmap_sg.
I use a burn-in tool to test the fixed functions, and found the data
verify success for 80 hours, buf if I try to extract three big
packages in the disk at the same time, the kernel panic:

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request a ff450fd7
IP:[<c05f5ba4>] iret_exc+0x68c/0x8d2
*pde = 00008067 *pte = 00000000
Oop : 0002 [#1] SMP

I do not know what is wrong.
How to access the sglist DMA buffer correctly?
