Hi,
I use remap_pfn_range to do mmap, and it can work.

It seems the mux_vma_nopage() operation hadn't been called.

Subject: question about mapping RAM into user space.
Hi, all:
I'm a newbie of kernel. I'm working on my mux driver in hand, and want to map some RAM(say, 1024*1024*2 bytes totally)into user space.
Accroding the LDD3 book, I'm using __get_free_pages() which be called in nopage() operation of struct vm_operations_struct like follow:
/* get page from mux dev, and return it to the user. */
struct page *mux_vma_nopage(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
unsigned long address, int *type)
{
unsigned long offset;
struct mux_dev *dev = vma->vm_private_data;
struct page *page = NOPAGE_SIGBUS;
void *pageptr = NULL; /* default to "missing" */
printk("In mux_vma_nopage ############################################\n" );
down(&dev->sem);
offset = (address - vma->vm_start) + (vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT);
if (offset >= dev->size) goto out; /* out of range */
/* get page from our dev, get free page if inavialable */
offset >>= PAGE_SHIFT; /* offset is a number of pages */
if (!dev->data[offset])
{
dev->data[offset] = (void *)__get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL, 0); /* order must be 0 */
if (!dev->data[offset])
goto out;
memset(dev->data[offset], 0, PAGE_SIZE);
}
pageptr = dev->data[offset];
page = virt_to_page(pageptr);
/* now increment the count */
get_page(page);
if (type)
*type = VM_FAULT_MINOR;
out:
up(&dev->sem);
return page;
}
The mmap() operation of fops is like:
int nc_mux_mmap(struct file *filp, struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
/* don't do anything here: "nopage" will set up page table entries */
vma->vm_ops = &mux_vm_ops;
vma->vm_flags |= VM_RESERVED;
vma->vm_private_data = filp->private_data;
mux_vma_open(vma);
return 0;
}
When I test useing code :
address=mmap(0, len, PROT_READ, MAP_FILE | MAP_PRIVATE, fd, offset);
if (address == (void *)-1) {
fprintf(stderr,"%s: mmap(): %s\n",argv[0],strerror(errno));
exit(1);
}
strcpy((char *)address, "hello, world.");
It gives me msg of "segmen fault":

Platform is arm and kernel version is 2.6.14, I don'e know how to do nextly, is somebody have any suggestion? thanks.
