Now all materials are ready, let's allow the direct in-kernel read/write, i.e. a kernel-space buffer is passed for read or write, instead of the normal user-space buffer. This feature is used by OSS layer and UAC1 driver, for example. The __snd_pcm_lib_xfer() takes in_kernel argument that indicates the in-kernel buffer copy. When this flag is set, another transfer code is used. It's either via copy_kernel PCM ops or the normal memcpy(), depending on the driver setup. As external API, snd_pcm_kernel_read(), *_write() and other variants are provided. That's all. This support is really simple because of the code refactoring until now.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
