Question regarding page fault handlers in kernel mappings

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello, I am AMD developer and I am trying to implement support for on the fly graceful graphic card extraction. One issue I am facing is how to avoid accesses to physical addresses both in RAM and MMIO from user mode and kernel after device is gone. For user accesses (mmap) I use the page fault handler to route all RW accesses to dummy zero page. I would like to do the same for kernel side mappings both form RAM (kmap) and device IO (ioremap) but it looks like there is no same mechanism of page fault handlers for kernel side mappings.

Am I correct in my understanding ?

Thanks,
Andrey
