Hi, Josh:

I have resolved my kernel driver problem, it was my own bug, didn't have
anything to do with memory remapping itself. Your suggestion to move to
ioremap64() did resolve problem completely.

I still need investigate mmap() crash. Apparently switch to mmap64()
didn't help, but it could be some another bug, I'll double check.

Thanks,

Leonid.

Hi, Josh:

Thank you for your suggestion. Somehow it didn't work with mmap (may be,
my mistake, I'll double check), however it partially helped me with my
another problem.

I have kernel driver where I need read/write some HW device, connected
on address 0xea000000, chip select 4. This chip select configured
properly, here are EBC registers:

440EPx>rd ebc0_b4cr
ebc0_b4cr: 0xea01a000  -368992256
440EPx>rd ebc0_b4ap
ebc0_b4ap: 0x03037000  50556928

>From u-boot I can read/write this address with no problem (I use md/mw
commands).

In my driver I tried to ioremap() this address and any attempt to access
led to crash, same as with mmap().

When, following your suggestion, I used address 0x1ea00000 and
ioremap64(), crashes disappeared!

I even can write, but when I read data back I see least significant byte
of each 16 bits word only (bus is configured 16 bits width). 

What can it be?

Thanks,

Leonid.

It's at 0x1fc000000 IIRC.

See.  Virtual is 0xf0000000, physical is 0x1f0000000.

I don't even see your entry in here.  Likely because the TLB is small
and it's gone by the time you do the dump

Try mmap64 on the real physical address and see if that helps.
