v_mapphys(D3X)
v_mapphys - map physical addresses into user address space
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.22. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.
NAME v_mapphys - map physical addresses into user address space SYNOPSIS #include "sys/types.h" #include "ksys/ddmap.h" v_mapphys(vhandl_ *vt, void *addr, size_t len); DESCRIPTION v_mapphys maps len bytes of the physical hardware addressed by addr into a user's address space. The actual user virtual address space to which addr is mapped is determined by vt, the "virtual handle" passed to the device driver map routine when the user issues a mmap(2) system call. If addr refers to memory and addr is either a kseg0 address or a cached kseg2 address, addr is mapped as a cached address (that is, all loads and stores will access or fill the data cache); otherwise, all references are uncached. RETURN VALUES In the event of an error, v_mapphys returns an errno value; otherwise, it returns 0. The errors include: [ENOMEM] Not enough memory was available to allocate page tables for the address space, or the user requested a specific mapping that collides with an address space that cannot be unmapped.
