Any ways, I think the ulMapAttr flag in DSPProcessor_Map function can be extended to provide the information about read-only or write-only. The only issue is with this we can enforce the checks on only the applications that set this check and it will not cover the buffer alignment issues with the applications that don't enforce this check. >While we are at it, this new mapping could do > PROC_ReserveMemory at the same time so that the user-space application > doesn't get a chance to modify the pa. > -- What does PROC_ReserveMemory has to do with pa ?
