Hi, Anatoly
Thank you for advices. This problem will happen in both VFIO and UIO, I will
modify both according to your advices and test them.
I did some tests with mmap() on my system, when I provided address not
page-aligned, mmap() could return page-aligned address too, but the code will
return fault because mmap() return address was not equal with address I
provided(problem occurs in pci_uio_map_secondary()).
I still don't understand how do you get addresses aligned on a 16K
boundary with 64K page size.
The mapping process is as follows:
0) start with max_va_end, or with previous addres + previous len
1) reserve virtual area with mmap() (accepts any return address)
2) map the BAR with MAP_FIXED (checks return address, but should work
because we already have that area reserved)
The error you're referring to would've happened at step 2 (MAP_FIXED
with unaligned addresses will cause the mmap() to fail), but at that
point we already have a valid virtual area for the bar. If you get a
16K-aligned page address for the BAR, you get it on step 1, not step 2.
So, if, by your own admission, your mmap() implementation does return a
64K-aligned address... What exactly is the issue then? How does your BAR
end up with an invalid address?
