[PATCH] uio: Fix bus error that access memory mapped by physical

From: wubian
Date: Wed Jun 23 2021 - 02:52:48 EST


On the arm64, register the uio driver and map a physical space
on the pci device to user space, then use memset write data to
the address space, a bus error will occur. This error is due to
the dc instruction(cache operation) used in the assembly of memset,
uio mapping physical memory will call pgprot_noncached() to set
non-cached and non-buffered, while pgprot_writecombine() has fewer
restrictions. It does not prohibit write buffer, so replacing
pgprot_noncached() with pgprot_writecombine() can solve this problem.
