Hi,
I am writing a linux mips device driver for a PCI device. I am currently
running into a strange problem when writing a lot of data to iomemory.
I have written a test function that looks like this:
void test_iomem(struct pci_dev *dev)
{
void __iomem *mem;
unsigned long start;
unsigned long size;
start = pci_resource_start(dev, 0);
size = pci_resource_len(dev, 0);
printk("start=%08lx size=%08lx\n", start, size);
mem = ioremap(start, size);
while(1) {
printk("memset %p\n", mem);
memset_io(mem, 0, 10000);
}
}
This function is just being used to test the iomemory. If this works, it
should just keep writing 0's to the iomemory forever (at least as I
understand it). When I run insmod on this device driver I see the
following output:
start=20000000 size=04000000
memset c0580000
memset c0580000
memset c0580000
...
...
...
And this goes on for quite some time. Eventually it will stop, moments
later I will see a kernel panic with the following output:
> memset c0580000
> memset c0580000
> memset c0580000

I am at a complete loss as to what could be causing this to occur. Any
ideas about why this would crash? In case it helps this is what my PCI
configuration space looks like:
00: 31 11 06 54 02 00 90 02 00 00 80 04 00 40 00 00

I thought the command register and latency timer looked wrong, so I did
modify them before running the above function. And now it looks like the
following:
00: 31 11 06 54 16 01 90 02 00 00 80 04 00 40 00 00

Still no luck. Anyone have an idea?
Thanks,
Jon
