The error information is that “offset value too large for defined data type”.
Reason:
On the X86 platform, the data type of “off" is unsigned long; but on the ARM64
platform, the data type is defined as off_t, and off_t is by type long instead
of unsigned long.
When the off right shifts in the function “sys_mmap_pgoff(addr, len, prot,
flags, fd, off >> PAGE_SHIFT)"on ARM64, high address of off is filled with sign
bit 1instead of 0.
In our case, we mmap GPU doorbell on both platform. On the x86 platform, the
value of off is f009c00000000000, after shift the value becomes f009c00000000;
while on the ARM64, the value of off changes from ed35c00000000000 to
fffed35c00000000. This value is treated as unsigned long in later functions. So
it is too big for off and the error happened.
We have tested the patchs in Huawei ARM64 server with a couples of AMD GPUs.
