Oh I missed that one, and thought you meant this is rather a new behavior.
One thing I can think of to make this dspbridge VM_IO assumption
stronger is this:
diff --git a/drivers/dsp/bridge/core/tiomap3430.c
b/drivers/dsp/bridge/core/tiomap3430.c
index e122f04..7030012 100644

bridge_dev_context *hDevContext,
goto func_cont;
}
- if (vma->vm_flags & VM_IO) {
+ if (vma->vm_flags & (VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP)) {
num_usr_pgs = ul_num_bytes / PG_SIZE4K;
mpu_addr = ul_mpu_addr;
This is exactly what __get_user_pages is checking for as well, and it
applies to our framebuffer use case.
Anyway I wonder if we have such dspbridge scenarios in which vm_flags
& VM_IO is true, but vm_flags & VM_PFNMAP is false.
Obviously this all issue has nothing to do with the current mem/cache
API patches.
Thanks,
Ohad.
