Subject: [PATCH v4 11/21] mm: add mmap_action_simple_ioremap()
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 22:39:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a08ef1c4542202684da63bb37f459d5dbbeddd91.1774045440.git.ljs@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1774045440.git.ljs@kernel.org>
Currently drivers use vm_iomap_memory() as a simple helper function for
I/O remapping memory over a range starting at a specified physical address
over a specified length.
In order to utilise this from mmap_prepare, separate out the core logic
into __simple_ioremap_prep(), update vm_iomap_memory() to use it, and add
simple_ioremap_prepare() to do the same with a VMA descriptor object.
We also add MMAP_SIMPLE_IO_REMAP and relevant fields to the struct
mmap_action type to permit this operation also.
We use mmap_action_ioremap() to set up the actual I/O remap operation once
we have checked and figured out the parameters, which makes
simple_ioremap_prepare() easy to implement.
We then add mmap_action_simple_ioremap() to allow drivers to make use of
this mode.
We update the mmap_prepare documentation to describe this mode. Finally,
we update the VMA tests to reflect this change.
