Hi,
I need help to correctly calculate kernel logical address for a user pointer
which I mmaped from device driver. In mmap() file operation, I allocate some
memory using kmalloc() and call :
remap_page_range(vma->vm_start,
virt_to_phys((void *)(Uint32)kmalloc_buffer),
size,
PAGE_SHARED);
after reserving all pages and doing some other stuff. Now when I get a user
pointer and I need to calculate correspoding kernel logical address, I use
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));
}
}
}
Will this code always give me correct kernel logical address?
I will really appreciate any guidance.
Thanks,
Imran.
