[PATCH v2 1/1] V4L: videobuf, don't use dma addr as physical

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Tue Mar 01 2011 - 03:21:56 EST


mem->dma_handle is a dma address obtained by dma_alloc_coherent which
needn't be a physical address as a hardware IOMMU can (and most
likely will) return a bus address where physical != bus address. So
ensure we are remapping (remap_pfn_range) the right page in
__videobuf_mmap_mapper by using virt_to_phys(mem->vaddr) and not
mem->dma_handle.

While at it, use PFN_DOWN instead of explicit shift to obtain a frame
number.

This was discovered by a random review of the code when looking for
something completely different. I'm not aware of any bug reports for
this.

However it is a bug because many v4l drivers use this layer and have
no idea whether IOMMU is in the system and running or not.
