UIO DMA to userspace question

[Leon Woestenberg]

Hello all,

can I use the UIO framework for the following?

The userspace portion of the driver allocates memory in user-space
using malloc() - usually resulting in a scatter pages in physical
memory.
The UIO kernel portion of the driver maps those using pci_map_sg().

Is this possible, or does the UIO framework assume memory for DMA is
allocated in kernel space?


Thanks,
