<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Hello everyone!
<br>
I need reserve 256-512 Mb of continuous physical memory and have access to this memory from the user space.
<br>
I decided to use CMA for memory reserving. <br>
Here are the steps on my idea that must be performed:<br>
1. Reservation required amount of memory by CMA during system booting.<br>
2. Parsing of CMA patch output which looks like for example: "CMA: reserved 256 MiB at 27400000" and saving two parameters: size of CMA area = 256*1024*1024 bytes and phys address of CMA area = 0x27400000.<br>
3. Mapping of CMA area at /dev/mem file with offset = 0x27400000 using mmap(). (Of course, </span></font><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"">CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is disabled)</span></font><br>
It would let me to read data directly from phys memory from user space.<br>
<br>
But the next code make segmentation fault(there size = 1Mb):</p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">int file;<br>
void* start;</span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">file=open("/dev/mem", O_RDWR | O_SYNC);</span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">if ( (start = mmap(0, 1024*1024, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, file, 0x27400000)) == MAP_FAILED ){<br>
perror("mmap");<br>
}</span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">for (int offs = 0; offs<50; offs++){<br>
cout<<((char *)start)[offs];<br>
}</span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Output of this code: "mmap: Invalid argument".</span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">When I changed offset = 0x27400000 on 0, this code worked fine and program displayed trash. It also work for alot of offsets which I looked at /proc/iomem.<br>
According to information from /proc/iomem, phys addr of CMA area (0x27400000 on my system) always situated in System RAM.</span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Does anyone have any ideas, how to mmap CMA area on /dev/mem? What am I doing wrong?<br>
Thanks alot for any help!</span></font></p>

<font color="#1f497d"><span style="color:#1F497D">You don’t say what kind of processor you are running this on, but if its x86_64 you might want to look at your kernel configuration. If CONFIG_X86_PAT is configured you will have problems mapping memory to user
space. It basically implements the same restrictions as CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM.</span></font></span></font></p>
