Sure, in mmap():

size = vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start;
if(size % PAGE_SIZE)
{
	printk(KERN_CRIT "mmap: size (%ld) not multiple of PAGE_SIZE.\n", size);
	return -ENXIO;
}

offset = vma->vm_pgoff<<PAGE_SHIFT;
if(offset & ~PAGE_MASK)
{
	printk(KERN_CRIT "mmap: offset (%ld) not aligned.\n", offset);
	return -ENXIO;
}

kmalloc_ptr = (Uint8 *)kmalloc(size+(2*PAGE_SIZE), GFP_KERNEL);
if(kmalloc_ptr == NULL)
{
	printk(KERN_CRIT "mmap: not enough memory.\n");
	return -ENOMEM;
}

/* align it to page boundary */
kmalloc_area = (Uint8 *)(((Uint32)kmalloc_ptr + PAGE_SIZE -1) & PAGE_MASK);

/* reserve all pages */
for(virt_addr = (Uint32)kmalloc_area; virt_addr < (Uint32)kmalloc_area +
size; virt_addr +=PAGE_SIZE)
{
	mem_map_reserve(virt_to_page(virt_addr));
}

/* lock the area*/
vma->vm_flags |=VM_LOCKED;

if(remap_page_range(vma->vm_start,
			virt_to_phys((void *)(Uint32)kmalloc_area),
			size,
			PAGE_SHARED))
{
	printk(KERN_CRIT "mmap: remap page range failed.\n");
	return -ENXIO;
}


vma->vm_ops = &pkp_vma_ops;
vma->vm_private_data = kmalloc_ptr;
return 0;



This works just fine on my i386 platform (SMP ,non-SMP). Now in my ioctl()
entry I get the kernel logical address by using the following code:

adr = user_address;
pgd_offset(current->mm, adr);
if (!pgd_none(*pgd)) {
	pmd = pmd_offset(pgd, adr);
	if (!pmd_none(*pmd)) {
		ptep = pte_offset(pmd, adr);
		pte = *ptep;
		if(pte_present(pte)) {
			kaddr  = (unsigned long) page_address(pte_page(pte));
			kaddr |= (adr & (PAGE_SIZE - 1));
		}
	}
}

Now for DMA, I get bus address by using virt_to_bus(kaddr). So, is there any
portablility issue in this scheme?

Thanks,
Imran.
