Hello, There are comments for your System MMU driver below. It's good that System MMU has functionality of mapping but System MMU have to use other mapping of virtual memory allocator. And would be better to change sysmmu_list to use array of defined in s5p_sysmmu_ip enumeration, so that can get enhancement of memory space usage, speed, and readability of codes. TLB replacement policy does not need to use LRU. Of course, current System MMU also needs it. I think, the round robin is enough, because to access memory has no temporal locality and to make LRU need to access to System MMU register one more. The reset value is round robin. In the setting of SHARED page table in s5p_sysmmu_control_locked, get the page table base address of ARM core from cp15 register now. But current->mm- >pgd is better for more compatibility. When it make page table with PRIVATE page table methods, the size of the structure to manage the second page table is quite big. It is much better rather that to make slab with cache size of 1KB. Besides, the page mapping implementation is not safe in your System MMU driver. Because only first one confirms primary page table entry, when it assigns four second page tables consecutively at a time. The System MMU driver cannot apply runtime pm by oneself with calling pm_runtime_put_sync(). The reason is because a device with System MMU can on/off power. I think just clock gating is enough. However, I can't find clock enable/disable in your driver. By PRIVATE page table method, each system MMU comes to have a page table only for oneself. In this case, the problem is that each MFC System MMU L and R having another page table. In your System MMU driver, the page size is always 4KB crucially. This says TLB thrashing and produces a result to lose a TLB hit rate. It is a big problem with the device such as rotator which does not do sequential access especially. And the IRQ handler just outputs only a message. It should be implemented in call back function to be able to handle from each device driver. When it sets System MMU in SHARED page table, kernel virtual memory is broken by a method such as s5p_sysmmu_map_area() :( Thanks.
