Subject: [PATCH] uio: Fix bus error that access memory mapped by physical
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2021 14:52:14 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210623065214.4525-1-wubian@uniontech.com> (raw)

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.
