iounmap

iounmap

[Ronald Wahl]

Hi,

I'm currently writing a device driver for an pci controller and have to
map very large amounts of pci memory and i/o ranges via ioremap. The
problem is that there is no iounmap and ioremap returns NULL after some
insmod/rmmod cycles. When gets this implemented?

When someone steals some spare time and writes the code.

Done.  The hot swap PCI kernel patches from MCG have iounmap implemented.
Very useful when ripping a PCI peripheral out of its slot. :)

See them at http://www.mcg.mot.com/linux under HA Linux/Downloads.

This should do the trick:

void iounmap(void *addr)
{
	if (addr > high_memory && (unsigned long) addr < ioremap_bot)
		vfree((void *) (PAGE_MASK & (unsigned long) addr));
}

Could you replace the null iounmap in arch/ppc/mm/init.c with that,
test it, and let me know if it works?

Call me blind, but I havn't seen an implementation of iounmap in these
patches.

Yes, it seems to work. Thanx!

Whoops, sorry.  When I was at MCG I know another engineer did an iounmap
implementation for HA support.  I thought it was in those patches... :-/
