uio: use vma_pages() to replace (vm_end - vm_start) >> PAGE_SHIFT

2013-07-03T23:07:26+00:00

(*->vm_end - *->vm_start) >> PAGE_SHIFT operation is implemented
as a inline funcion vma_pages() in linux/mm.h, so using it.

drivers: uio: Fix UIO device registration failure

2013-03-29T16:08:22+00:00

Until recently uio_get_minor() returned 0 for success and
a negative value on failure.  This became non-negative for suceess and
negative for failure.  Restore the original return value spec so that we can
successfully initialize UIO devices with a non-zero minor device
number.

mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter

2012-10-09T07:22:19+00:00

A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:

 | effect                 | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP

This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.

Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

uio: Support physical addresses >32 bits on 32-bit systems

2011-10-18T18:18:57+00:00

To support >32-bit physical addresses for UIO_MEM_PHYS type we need to
extend the width of 'addr' in struct uio_mem.  Numerous platforms like
embedded PPC, ARM, and X86 have support for systems with larger physical
address than logical.

Since 'addr' may contain a physical, logical, or virtual address the
easiest solution is to just change the type to 'phys_addr_t' which
should always be greater than or equal to the sizeof(void *) such that
it can properly hold any of the address types.

For physical address we can support up to a 44-bit physical address on a
typical 32-bit system as we utilize remap_pfn_range() for the mapping of
the memory region and pfn's are represnted by shifting the address by
the page size (typically 4k).

uio: fix allocating minor id for uio device

2011-04-19T23:56:03+00:00

The number of uio devices that could be used should be less than
UIO_MAX_DEVICES by design, and this work guards any cases in which id
more than UIO_MAX_DEVICES is utilized.

uio: fix finding mm index for vma

2011-04-19T23:56:02+00:00

When finding mm index for vma it looks more flexible that the mm could
be sparse, and both the size of mm and the pgoff of vma could give
correct selection.
