Subject: physical memory for user space application
Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2005 16:09:13 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051115210913.18049.qmail@web32905.mail.mud.yahoo.com> (raw)
Hi There,
I want to access the physical memory associated
with a user space application.
From my driver I would like to:
- Lock down a range of memory (ensure that it is
not paged out)
- Get a mapping of the corrosponding phyiscal
memory i.e. I would like to be able to read the
physical memory directly.
- I don't want to use the proc file system.
Can anyone tell me what the fucntions and / or
data structures are to acomplish this?
Cheers
Dave Sharp
