pdfdocs: Fix 'make pdfdocs' failure for 'uio-howto.tmpl'

2015-02-03T23:48:51+00:00

'make pdfdocs' failed for uio-howto.tmpl and reported errors of the form: 'document type does not allow element "varname" here; missing one of "remark", "synopsis", "fieldsynopsis", "literallayout", "programlisting", "screen", "para", "simpara", "bridgehead" start-tag' and similar. Fixed by adding '' and '' tags to a location that made sense, fixed the errors and the pdf looks OK in relevant ereas. Signed-off-by: Sharon Dvir Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

uio: support memory sizes larger than 32 bits

drivers: uio_dmem_genirq: Don't use DMA_ERROR_CODE to indicate unmapped regions

2012-11-21T21:44:10+00:00

DMA_ERROR_CODE is not defined on all architectures and is architecture specific. Instead, use the constant, ~0 to indicate unmapped regions. Reported-by: Fengguang Wu Reported-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Signed-off-by: Damian Hobson-Garcia Cc: "Hans J. Koch" Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

uio: documentation fixups

The 'name' attribute of struct uio_mem wasn't documented, and the note about 'kobj' is stale and needs to be changed to 'map'. Signed-off-by: Geoff Thorpe Signed-off-by: "Hans J. Koch" Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

uio: Support physical addresses >32 bits on 32-bit systems

2011-10-18T18:18:57+00:00

To support >32-bit physical addresses for UIO_MEM_PHYS type we need to extend the width of 'addr' in struct uio_mem. Numerous platforms like embedded PPC, ARM, and X86 have support for systems with larger physical address than logical. Since 'addr' may contain a physical, logical, or virtual address the easiest solution is to just change the type to 'phys_addr_t' which should always be greater than or equal to the sizeof(void *) such that it can properly hold any of the address types. For physical address we can support up to a 44-bit physical address on a typical 32-bit system as we utilize remap_pfn_range() for the mapping of the memory region and pfn's are represnted by shifting the address by the page size (typically 4k).
