SubjectRe: Questions about mmap
Thank you Stefan.... by I'd something more concrete.

I'm trying to do like this:

//Code of the char device
unsigned int **test;
static int device_mmap(struct file *filp, struct vm_area_struct *vma) {
printk(KERN_INFO"Calling mmap\n");
vma->vm_flags |= VM_LOCKED;
if(remap_pfn_range(vma, vma->vm_start,
virt_to_phys((void*)((unsigned long)test)) >> PAGE_SHIFT, vma->vm_end
- vma->vm_start, PAGE_SHARED))
return -EAGAIN;
printk(KERN_INFO"mmap returned\n");
return 0;
}

static int __init testeInit(void) {
/* after creating char device and registering it*/
...
....
test = (unsigned int**) kmalloc(sizeof(unsigned int*)*1024, GFP_KERNEL);
int i;
for(i = 0; i < 1024; i++)
test[i] = NULL;

unsigned int* temp1 = (unsigned int*) kmalloc(sizeof(unsigned int), GFP_KERNEL);
(*temp1) = 9;
test[0] = temp1;
return 0;
}

and at user program:

int main() {
int fd;

unsigned int **mptr;
size_t size = 1024*sizeof(unsigned int*);
fd = open("/dev/myDev", O_RDWR);
if( fd == -1) {
printf("open error...\n");
exit(0);
}

mptr = mmap(0, sizeof(unsigned int*)*1024, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_FILE | MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
if(mptr == MAP_FAILED) {
printf("mmap() failed\n");
exit(1);
}
printf("teste[0]: %u\n", *mptr[0]);
munmap(mptr, size);
close(fd);
return 0;
}

It's not working, could you tell me what am I doing wrong? It is for
my undergraduate thesis ans it is really driving me mad.

I hope that you can help me.

best regards.
