What hardware are you using ? How are you allocating shmem ? Can you give few code lines for what you try ? The more info you give, more help you receive. Well, it may be faster to go directly to some kernel list or vendor list with your questions. >> On 06.07.2017 12:20, kipade wrote: >> >>> [...] (I have a look at> the kerrnel source, every omap_bo_object [...] >> >>> [...] I use arm 32bit cpu, with kernel 3.14 >> >>> Here I want to allocate a block of shared memory from a given physical >>> address, such as 0x9000, 6M.

Re: How to alloc_pages from a given physical memory?
I reserved such memory as cma range, and Im sure it can be allocated via cma, such as dma_alloc_writecombine*. I want to hard code the physical address because I have to make sure such address can be access by another ipu cores of the soc platform. I think this can be reserved via a generic way: Just customize page allocation for a shm object. (I have a look at the kerrnel source, every omap_bo_object was bind a shm file, so, i only need allocate pages by my way will resolve all the further problem. otherwise, i would encounter many other unkown issues for me).* On 06.07.2017 18:01, Kamil Konieczny wrote: On 06.07.2017 11:43, kipade wrote: In fact, I want to allocate a continous of pages from a given physical address for a shm object in shmem_file_setup, might i should write a customized shmem_file_setup2 for this?

In fact, I want to allocate a continous of pages from a given physical address for a shm object in shmem_file_setup, might i should write a customized shmem_file_setup2 for this? 在 2017年07月06日 17:30, Kamil Konieczny wrote: > > On 06.07.2017 11:04, kipade wrote: >> I use arm 32bit cpu, with kernel 3.14 > banana-pi ? nano-pi ? orange-pi ? odroid ? > > Is it memory region for system registers ? > >>> On 06.07.2017 05:08, kipade wrote: Here I want to allocate a block of shared memory from a given physical address, such as 0x9000, 6M.
