Yes well, all this remapping clearly has no chance to work
on systems without CONFIG_MMU.
It looks to me mmap can work according to Documentation/nommu-mmap.txt. But
I'm not sure it's worth to bother.

Thanks
Well

int remap_pfn_range(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long addr,
unsigned long pfn, unsigned long size, pgprot_t prot)
{
if (addr != (pfn << PAGE_SHIFT))
return -EINVAL;

vma->vm_flags |= VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP;
return 0;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(remap_pfn_range);


So things aren't going to work if you have a fixed PFN
which is the case of the hardware device.
Looking at the implementation of some drivers e.g mtd_char. If I read the
code correctly, we can do this by providing get_unmapped_area method and use
physical address directly.

But start form CONFIG_MMU should be fine. Do you prefer making vhost_vdpa
depends on CONFIG_MMU or just fail mmap when CONFIG_MMU is not configured?

Thanks
I'd just not specify the mmap callback at all.


Ok, will do.

Thanks
