driver mmap implementation for memory allocated with pci_alloc_consistent()?

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

 



Hello all,

memory allocated with pci_alloc_consistent() returns the (kernel)
virtual address and the bus address (which may be different from the
physical memory address).

What is the correct implementation of the driver mmap (file operation
method) for such memory?

I assume remap_pfn_range() must be used, but how can I find out the
correct arguments, such as the physical address?

Some plainly use the bus address as the physical address to
remap_pfn_range, but that seems plain wrong to be in general.

This questions seems a FAQ, but I found different (and
contradictionary) answers on Google.

Thanks,
