SIS1100e/310x LINUX driver opensuse 12.3rc1 at kernel 3.7.6

Posted on February 8, 2013 by mki

Thanks to Tibor Keri from the University of Glasgow for bringing the following to our attention:

In kernel 3.7-rc1, the flag VM_RESERVED is removed

The implication is, that sis11_mmap.c requires the following patch:

/* offset in bytes + size of mapping */

if ((vma->vm_pgoff<<PAGE_SHIFT)+(vma->vm_end-vma->vm_start)>

PAGE_ALIGN(size))

return -EINVAL;

/* start of patch */

#ifndef VM_RESERVED

# define VM_RESERVED (VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP)

#endif

/* end of patch */

vma->vm_flags |= VM_RESERVED;

vma->vm_flags |= VM_IO;

vma->vm_flags |= VM_DONTEXPAND;

vma->vm_page_prot = pgprot_noncached(vma->vm_page_prot);
