Hi,
I'm doing some work on 2.6.10, and got this problem:
- there are some io_block_mapping calls in the setup_io_mapping
callback, that use the BATs, and passing same va and pa each one.
Problem arises later when vmallocs gets a a pointer within the mapped
ranges. In other words, seems like the VMM is not aware of the BATs
mapping.
So what I did is: called first ioremap and then io_block_mapping in
the
callback thus not hardcoding the va, something like:
va = ioremap(pa, size);
io_block_mapping(pa, va, size);
Questions:
1) Is it right?
2) Should I unmap that address sometime later? (i.e. after
mem_init_done).
You should look at getting ride of your io_block_mapping calls as
we've removed that in new kernels.
However, ioremap() should work properly in that it should lookup the
address you are mapping via p_mapped_by_bats().
