I don't understand all the bits and pieces here, but I'm a little dubious about adding all these "(void __iomem *)"casts. There are very few of them in drivers/pci/, and I doubt this driver is so unique that it needs them. > @@ -1121,7 +1121,7 @@ static u32 vntb_epf_spad_read(struct ntb_dev *ndev, int idx) > struct epf_ntb *ntb = ntb_ndev(ndev); > int off = ntb->reg->spad_offset, ct = ntb->reg->spad_count * sizeof(u32); > u32 val; > - void __iomem *base = ntb->reg; > + void __iomem *base = (void __iomem *)ntb->reg; > > val = readl(base + off + ct + idx * sizeof(u32)); > return val; > @@ -1132,7 +1132,7 @@ static int vntb_epf_spad_write(struct ntb_dev *ndev, int idx, u32 val) > struct epf_ntb *ntb = ntb_ndev(ndev); > struct epf_ntb_ctrl *ctrl = ntb->reg; > int off = ctrl->spad_offset, ct = ctrl->spad_count * sizeof(u32); > - void __iomem *base = ntb->reg; > + void __iomem *base = (void __iomem *)ntb->reg; > > writel(val, base + off + ct + idx * sizeof(u32)); These things look gratuitously different to begin with: int off = ntb->reg->spad_offset, ct = ntb->reg->spad_count * sizeof(u32); int off = ctrl->spad_offset, ct = ctrl->spad_count * sizeof(u32); They're doing the same thing, and they should do it the same way. Since db_data[] and db_offset[] are never referenced except to be initialized to zero, I'm guessing the point of vntb_epf_spad_read() and vntb_epf_spad_write() is to read/write things in those arrays? You access other things in ntb->reg directly by dereferencing a pointer, e.g., ntb->reg->link_status |= LINK_STATUS_UP; addr = ntb->reg->addr; ctrl->command_status = COMMAND_STATUS_OK; Why don't you just compute the appropriate *index* and access the array directly instead of using readl() and writel()?
