Ok. I would pass the size of an entire page anyway, I do not think
mapping anything not aligned on a page boundary makes sense.
If it still fails, enable CONFIG_DEBUG_USER in kernel configuration,
pass user_debug=29 on kernel command line, and post the user debug log
upon failure, then the disassembly of the function where the SIGBUS happens.
Note that this mailing list is probably not the best place to ask your
question, since we mostly talk about Xenomai here, and your issue does
not seem to have anything to do with Xenomai.
Please keep the discussion public.
