Hello everybody
How can I use uvm_map() to map a file on an adress range where there is
already something mapped?
I tried this:
error = uvm_map(&l->l_proc->p_vmspace->vm_map,
(vaddr_t *)&va, size, uobj, offset, 0,
UVM_MAPFLAG(UVM_PROT_ALL, UVM_PROT_ALL,
UVM_INH_COPY, UVM_ADV_NORMAL,
UVM_FLAG_COPYONW | UVM_FLAG_FIXED));
But if there is already something at address va, I get ENOMEM.
I tried UVM_MAP_OVERLAY (which is not documented beyond its name, the
name looks nice...), I get the same result.
