Having discussed with Matthew offlist, I think we've come to the
following conclusion - there's a number of drivers that buggily
ignore vm_pgoff.
So, what I proposed is:
static int __vm_insert_range(struct vm_struct *vma, struct page *pages,
size_t num, unsigned long offset)
{
unsigned long count = vma_pages(vma);
unsigned long uaddr = vma->vm_start;
int ret;
/* Fail if the user requested offset is beyond the end of the object */
if (offset > num)
return -ENXIO;
/* Fail if the user requested size exceeds available object size */
if (count > num - offset)
return -ENXIO;
/* Never exceed the number of pages that the user requested */
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
ret = vm_insert_page(vma, uaddr, pages[offset + i]);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
uaddr += PAGE_SIZE;
}
return 0;
}
/*
* Maps an object consisting of `num' `pages', catering for the user's
* requested vm_pgoff
*/
int vm_insert_range(struct vm_struct *vma, struct page *pages, size_t num)
{
return __vm_insert_range(vma, pages, num, vma->vm_pgoff);
}
/*
* Maps a set of pages, always starting at page[0]
*/
int vm_insert_range_buggy(struct vm_struct *vma, struct page *pages, size_t num)
{
return __vm_insert_range(vma, pages, num, 0);
}
With this, drivers such as iommu/dma-iommu.c can be converted thusly:
int iommu_dma_mmap(struct page **pages, size_t size, struct vm_area_struct *vma+)
{
- unsigned long uaddr = vma->vm_start;
- unsigned int i, count = PAGE_ALIGN(size) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
- int ret = -ENXIO;
-
- for (i = vma->vm_pgoff; i < count && uaddr < vma->vm_end; i++) {
- ret = vm_insert_page(vma, uaddr, pages[i]);
- if (ret)
- break;
- uaddr += PAGE_SIZE;
- }
- return ret;
+ return vm_insert_range(vma, pages, PAGE_ALIGN(size) >> PAGE_SHIFT);
}
and drivers such as firewire/core-iso.c:
int fw_iso_buffer_map_vma(struct fw_iso_buffer *buffer,
struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
- unsigned long uaddr;
- int i, err;
-
- uaddr = vma->vm_start;
- for (i = 0; i < buffer->page_count; i++) {
- err = vm_insert_page(vma, uaddr, buffer->pages[i]);
- if (err)
- return err;
-
- uaddr += PAGE_SIZE;
- }
-
- return 0;
+ return vm_insert_range_buggy(vma, buffer->pages, buffer->page_count);
}
and this gives us something to grep for to find these buggy drivers.
Now, this may not look exactly equivalent, but if you look at
fw_device_op_mmap(), buffer->page_count is basically vma_pages(vma)
at this point, which means this should be equivalent.
We _could_ then at a later date "fix" these drivers to behave according
to the normal vm_pgoff offsetting simply by removing the _buggy suffix
on the function name... and if that causes regressions, it gives us an
easy way to revert (as long as vm_insert_range_buggy() remains
available.)
In the case of firewire/core-iso.c, it currently ignores the mmap offset
entirely, so making the above suggested change would be tantamount to
causing it to return -ENXIO for any non-zero mmap offset.
IMHO, this approach is way simpler, and easier to get it correct at
each call site, rather than the current approach which seems to be
error-prone.
