I have written a character device driver for a proprietary PCI device that has a large sum of mapable memory. The character device supports mmap() which I use to export the memory into a user process. I have no problems accessing the memory on this device, but I notice that my mmap routine is called for every access! Is this a problem with current, or a problem with my mmap?
I use bus_alloc_resource and then rman_get_start to get the physical address in my attach, and then the mmap just returns atop(physical address). I assumed this is correct since I have verified with a logical analyzer that I am indeed writing to the memory on the device. Also, I noticed that the device's mmap interface does not provide any way to limit the size of the block being mapped? Can I specify the length of the region?
Thanks,
Jeff
