Re: Problem with remap_page_range

if (remap_page_range(vma->vm_start,
DSP_ADDR,
size,
vma->vm_page_prot
))



Your remap call isn't adding _PAGE_NO_CACHE and _PAGE_GUARDED flags
like ioremap_nocache()/ioremap() do on PPC. You'll get bad results
because of the ordering and cache issues resulting from not using
these PTE flags. In 2.6, these can be added using pgprot_noncached()
that is defined per-arch.



Thank you Matt,

Coud you please give me en example on how to add these flags to remap in kernel 2.4.21 (powerpc).
It seems I could not find these flags available in my kernel.

Thank you very much
