Well.....I wrote and answered myself the question you pointed out that is residing on stackoverflow.... It was my first option I thought of to pass the pointer to the virtual address to the userland application but I've been asked to mantain the architecture using open(), ioctl(), mmap() etc.... so I don't know, it's a kind of jolly to be played in case I won't be able to use the posix architecture....but reading on forums/mailing lists... I think I will be forced to use the kind of implementation I've described in the SO question. It seems that no-one ever have got the need to do something like I'm trying to do. 2015-05-19 9:52 GMT+02:00 Mark Geisert <mark AT maxrnd DOT com>: > Alessio Faina writes: >> Ok thanks, I've been able to find the character device under >> "/proc/sys/DosDevices/Global/deviceName"; now I'm stuck with the mmap >> implementation; when I do mmap in the userland program it returns me >> errno 19 (#define ENODEV 19 /* No such device */) obviously because >> I haven't set anything in the kernel module; there's a way to make visible a >> portion of memory to be used by the mmap in the kernel?
