Hi all
So far I have found my issue of memory corruption in my initialization
routine.
So far I can do mapping of pages to a user space program and unmapping them
correctly inside UML. So let's me explain what we do in our current box.
1. The driver allocates a big compound page to server as a pools of pages
using __get_free_pages with flags __GFP_COMP.
2. The method mmap is defined and some pages are mapped to the user process
for egress data using vm_insert_page on one vma of the user process.
3. Some set are allocated to DMA. When data comes, the pages are remap
dynamicly to user space process to server as ingress data using
vm_insert_page
4. Once the user process uses that page and data is free, we want to unmap
that page from the user process page table entry but the driver wants to
still have this page available for future use. For example if the egress
data goes from app1 to app2 then we unmap the page from app1 and remap to
app2. Or if app1 does notneed it any more then we unmap the page and then we
remap for DMA.
So I was able to do the unmapping from the user space process page table
inside UML using:
pgdp = pgd_offset(mm, addr);
if (pgdp == NULL) return;
pudp = pud_offset(pgdp, addr);
if (pudp == NULL) return;
pmdp = pmd_offset(pudp, addr);
if (pmdp == NULL) return;
ptep = pte_offset_map_lock(mm, pmdp, addr, &ptlp);
if (ptep == NULL) return;
ptep_get_and_clear(mm,addr,ptep);
pte_unmap_unlock(ptep, ptlp);
and then decresing on purpose the map_count by 1 (only the kernel and 1 user
process maximum sees that page) so that the vm_insert_page method can be
called for that same page later on.
My problem is that I did not found a way to flush the tlb for that entry.
What option could I have?
thanks
