Hi,
I need to lock some pages in memory.
And those pages should be made non-caceable.
I tried to do it by the procedure
specified in the attached program. This
is failing. Is there any other way??
------------------------------------------
#define __KERNEL__
#define MODULE
#include <linux/config.h>
#include <linux/pci.h>
#include <linux/delay.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/vmalloc.h>
#include <linux/mm.h>
#include <linux/ioctl.h>
#include <asm/uaccess.h>
#include <asm/io.h>
static char *table;
static char *table_end;
static u32 size;
static unsigned long *cmd_table_remapped;
static u32 page_order;
#define CACHE_FLUSH() asm volatile ("wbinvd":::"memory")
int init_module(void)
{
u32 i;
page_order = 4;
table = (char *) __get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL, page_order);
if (table == NULL) {
return -ENOMEM;
}
table_end = table + ((PAGE_SIZE * (1 << page_order)) - 1);
for (i = MAP_NR(table); i < MAP_NR(table_end); i++) {
set_bit(PG_reserved, &mem_map[i].flags);
}
CACHE_FLUSH();
cmd_table_remapped = ioremap_nocache(virt_to_phys(table),
(PAGE_SIZE * (1 << page_order)));
if (cmd_table_remapped == NULL) {
printk("<1> ioremapping not succeded \n");
for (i = MAP_NR(table); i < MAP_NR(table_end); i++) {
clear_bit(PG_reserved, &mem_map[i].flags);
}
free_pages((unsigned long) table, page_order);
return 1;
}
printk("<1> ioremapping succeded \n");
return 0;
}
void cleanup_module(void)
{
/* TODO cleanup */
printk("<1> cleanup module called \n");
}
------------------------------------------
Can any one suggest me how to do it.
Thanks & Regards,
