If I want to mask irq, I have to control 8259 PIC or APIC.

If I want to mask ISA DMA, I know two 8237 DMA I/O ports.
It says DRQ in ISA DMA.


Then, how to mask PCI DRQ(?)? Is it possible to enable or disable it temporally?

Question Question Question Question

What are you trying to do?
DMA is a simple device read the spec http://ftp.utcluj.ro/pub/users/calceng/PMP/231466.pdf

Thanks, DJ Mauretto

But I already know that 8237 ISA DMA as you link.

I mean PCI DMA (Busmastering DMA) in below link.

Well,
i ask you again, What are you trying to do?
Do you wish to disable PCI busmaster DMA or what ?

Note that it is a chipset specific configuration, it's not standard
you must learn about your chipset Exclamation

Thanks, DJ Mauretto.
I want to stop this PCI Busmaster DMA for the certain time like masking ISA DMA.
Not to disable it.

You mean the northbridge chipset in my pc, right?

I've searched it in the Intel 965 chipset datasheet , but I couldn't find that masking information.

I'll search it again in detail.

Thanks any way for your kindness...

NO, the isa/pci dma interface is within southbridge under LPC device...
Usually in PC desktop with intel chipset the southbridge is called ICH
