Since posting this I found a thread that said something about mmap no longer supporting /dev/kmem. If that's that case I need to find another method. No sense spending a day debugging something thatisn't supposed to work.
SHOULD this still work? This always worked fine with non-wired memory but maybe things have changed since 9.

Just FYI, I got this to work using '/dev/mem' by passing up the physical address of the block. Probably more intuitive.
Just a question; the docs say contigmalloc() returns wired memory; is this guaranteed to be the case or do I need to run vm_map_wire() on it to be sure? vm_map_lookup() doesnt return "wired" as true after a contigmalloc(); but maybe all kernel_map memory is wired?

Laurie,
I have no idea. I'll cc the mailinglist back into the conversation.
Ronald.

KPTI has nothing to do with that.

Start with providing (and looking yourself) at the output of kdump/ktrace
around the failing mmap. The checks for correctness of the mmap(2) arguments

mmap port from 9 not working
I have some custom stuff I'm porting from Freebsd 9.x using mmap. I get a
pointer from the kernel via an ioctl and I map it into a shared buffer.
char *kptr; // mem ptr from kernel
fd=open("/dev/kmem",O_RDWR);memp=mmap(0,size,PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,MAP_SHARED,fd,(off_t)
ptr);
This worked perfectly in 9; memp I had a shared block of memory between the
kernel and user space.
In 11.3 this returns an errno 22, which is pretty murky. I did notice that
off_t doesnt yield an actual offset; I've tried putting in the correct value
manuallybut it just fails and fails.I've tried read only also.
Please Help!
Laurie
