Hi Santhosh,
I got this thing in dmesg:
[10256.068664] driver_test:7114 map pfn RAM range req uncached-minus
for 2f866000-2f867000, got write-back.
I am writing some random numbers in mmapped memory. But I am not able
to get it from the user space.
Note:
( I have allocated memory via adc_dev.adcMemoryArea = (adcdata_t *)
__get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL, 1); )
