Subject: [PATCH] UIO: Fix mapping of logical and virtual memory
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2008 01:10:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080923230959.GB4066@local> (raw)
I received this code by private mail from Andrew G. Harvey who found the
bug and provided a fix for it. He also tested the patch below, we
discussed it for a while, and I believe this to be correct. I simply
took his code and made a patch from it, see below.
Thanks to Andrew for pointing this out!
Hans

Subject: UIO: Fix mapping of logical and virtual memory
mmap() doesn't work as expected for UIO_MEM_LOGICAL or UIO_MEM_VIRTUAL
mappings. The offset into the memory needs to be added, otherwise
uio_vma_fault always returns the first page only. Note that for UIO
userspace calls mmap() with offset = N * getpagesize() to access
mapping N. This must be compensated when calculating the offset. A
comment was added to explain this since it is not obvious.
