Subjectquestions about virtual/physical addresses, remap_page_range, and ioremap
Date
I'm running redhat 7.1 (seawolf) with kernel 2.4.3 (I also have 2.4.2).

I'm writing my first linux device driver, and I have been reading Linux
Device Drivers (ORA, Rubini) and a pre-release copy of the next edition.
The next edition I have is missing the chapter on PCI.

I call ioremap to create maps to the PCI space pointed to by bar2, which
points at memory mapped IP modules.
After the ioremap, I try to use __pa() or virt_to_phys() to translate back
to physical and they return bogus info.

1. Am I wrong to use these calls for this purpose?

In my mmap file operation, I use remap_page_range(), which needs the
physical address. I CAN still get it from pci_resource_start(), but I'm
thinking I shouldn't.

The authors of the next edition say that you can remap virtual addresses
returned by ioremap, but didn't give an example, and I just can't figure it
out.
2. How do I use the virtual address returned from ioremap in a call to
remap_page_range?


Each of these IP modules is a *device*, but each only has 0x40 bytes of ID
info, and 0x80 bytes of i/o in the address space. And of course, the ID
spaces are contiguous, followed by the i/o spaces for each of the 5 modules.


I have captured some detail with the script command and then added some
comments (search for SEF)

Here's code excerpts...

bar2_phys_adx = (void *)pci_resource_start(dev,2);
bar2_phys_length = pci_resource_len(dev,2);
carrierAdx = ioremap_nocache((int)bar2_phys_adx,
bar2_phys_length);
bar2_virtual = phys_to_virt((int)bar2_phys_adx);

printk("%s%s%s", KERN_NOTICE, DRIVER_NAME, ": ");
printk("carrierAdx(from ioremap)=0x%08lx\n", carrierAdx);
printk("%s%s%s", KERN_NOTICE, DRIVER_NAME, ": ");
printk("virt_to_phys(carrierAdx)=0x%08lx\n",
virt_to_phys(carrierAdx));
printk("%s%s%s", KERN_NOTICE, DRIVER_NAME, ": ");
printk(" __pa(carrierAdx)=0x%08lx\n",
__pa(carrierAdx));

printk("%s%s%s", KERN_NOTICE, DRIVER_NAME, ": ");
printk(" bar2_phys_adx=0x%08x\n", bar2_phys_adx);
printk("%s%s%s", KERN_NOTICE, DRIVER_NAME, ": ");
printk(" bar2_phys_length=0x%08x\n", bar2_phys_length);
printk("%s%s%s", KERN_NOTICE, DRIVER_NAME, ": ");
printk(" bar2_virtual=0x%08x\n", bar2_virtual);
printk("%s%s%s", KERN_NOTICE, DRIVER_NAME, ": ");
printk("__pa(bar2_virtual)=0x%08x\n", __pa(bar2_virtual));


Here's the mmap file operation...
static int ipModuleMMap(struct file *filp, struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
unsigned long offset, physical, pageAdjustment;
physical = pci_resource_start(ipModuleDev,2);

pageAdjustment = (PAGE_SIZE - 1) & physical;

offset = vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT;

#ifdef DEBUG1
printk("%s%s%s", KERN_NOTICE, DRIVER_NAME, ": ");
printk("offset 0x%08x bytes\n", offset);
printk("%s%s%s", KERN_NOTICE, DRIVER_NAME, ": ");
printk("physical adx 0x%08x bytes\n", physical);
#endif

#ifdef DEBUG1
printk("%s%s%s", KERN_NOTICE, DRIVER_NAME, ": ");
printk("pageAdjustment 0x%08x bytes\n", pageAdjustment);
#endif

vma->vm_flags |= VM_RESERVED | VM_IO;

if (remap_page_range(vma->vm_start, physical,
vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start,
vma->vm_page_prot)) /* no man page */
return -EAGAIN;
return 0;
}
