illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI).
dev
Device whose memory is to be mapped.
off
User offset within the logical device memory at which the
mapping begins.
as
An opaque data structure that describes the address space
into which the device memory should be mapped.
addrp
Pointer to the starting address in the address space into
which the device memory should be mapped.
len
Length (in bytes) of the memory to be mapped.
prot
A bit field that specifies the protections. Some possible
settings combinations are:
PROT_READ
Read access is desired.
PROT_WRITE
Write access is desired.
PROT_EXEC
Execute access is desired.
PROT_USER
User-level access is desired (the mapping is being done
as a result of a
mmap(2) system call).
PROT_ALL
All access is desired.
maxprot
Maximum protection flag possible for attempted mapping;
the PROT_WRITE bit may be masked out if the user opened the special
file read-only.
flags
Flags indicating type of mapping. The following flags can
be specified:
MAP_PRIVATE
Changes are private.
MAP_SHARED
Changes should be shared.
MAP_FIXED
The user specified an address in *addrp rather
than letting the system choose an address.
cred
Pointer to the user credential structure.
devmap_setup() and ddi_devmap_segmap() allow device drivers to use
the devmap framework to set up user mappings to device memory. The devmap
framework provides several advantages over the default device mapping
framework that is used by ddi_segmap(9F) or
ddi_segmap_setup(9F). Device drivers should use the devmap framework,
if the driver wants to:
- o
- use an optimal MMU pagesize to minimize address translations,
- o
- conserve kernel resources,
- o
- receive callbacks to manage events on the mapping,
- o
- export kernel memory to applications,
- o
- set up device contexts for the user mapping if the device requires context
switching,
- o
- assign device access attributes to the user mapping, or
- o
- change the maximum protection for the mapping.
devmap_setup() must be called in the segmap(9E)
entry point to establish the mapping for the application.
ddi_devmap_segmap() can be called in, or be used as, the
segmap(9E) entry point. The differences between devmap_setup()
and ddi_devmap_segmap() are in the data type used for off and
len.
When setting up the mapping, devmap_setup() and
ddi_devmap_segmap() call the devmap(9E) entry point to
validate the range to be mapped. The devmap(9E) entry point also
translates the logical offset (as seen by the application) to the
corresponding physical offset within the device address space. If the driver
does not provide its own devmap(9E) entry point, EINVAL will
be returned to the mmap(2) system call.
0
Successful completion.
Non-zero
An error occurred. The return value of
devmap_setup() and
ddi_devmap_segmap() should be used directly
in the
segmap(9E) entry point.
