[PATCH 1/3] uio: Allow handling of non page-aligned memory regions
From: Michal Sojka
Date: Tue Mar 07 2017 - 11:04:03 EST
Since commit b65502879556 ("uio: we cannot mmap unaligned page
contents") addresses and sizes of UIO memory regions must be
page-aligned. If the address in the BAR register is not page-aligned,
the mentioned commit forces the UIO driver to round the address down
to the page size. Then, there is no easy way for user-space to learn
the offset of the actual memory region within the page, because the
offset seen in the sysfs is calculated from the rounded address and
thus it is always zero.
Fix that problem by including the offset in struct uio_mem. UIO
drivers can set this field and its value is reported via sysfs.
Drivers for hardware with page-aligned BARs need not to be modified
provided that they initialize struct uio_info with zeros.
