I am running Linux 2.6.26 on an MPC8248. In my application, mmap is
returning MAP_FAILED. The arguments to mmap are start = 0, length =
2680, prot = 3, flags = MAP_SHARED, fd = 5, offset = 0. errno = 22
"Invalid argument"
I looked at the man page for mmap and don't see a reason why this is
happening. Any ideas? |

It would help if you told us what you were trying to do. What is file
descriptor 5 and how was it opened? Also, I doubt '2680' is a multiple
of your page size, so you cannot create a 2,680-byte mapping.

I am trying to get oprofile to work. The file I am opening is a
sample file. Here is the code for the open:
data->fd = open(filename, flags, 0644);
where filename = "/var/lib/oprofile/samples//current/{kern}/no-vmlinux/
{dep}/{kern}/no-vmlinux/TIMER.0.0.all.all.all"
where flags = O_CREAT | O_RDWR
The file /var/lib/oprofile/samples//current/{kern}/no-vmlinux/{dep}/
{kern}/no-vmlinux/TIMER.0.0.all.all.all does exist.
I changed the length to the page size and it made no difference.
According to http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~beej/guide/ipc/mmap.html,
"This can be any length you want. (Aside: if len not a multiple of the
virtual memory page size, you will get a blocksize that is rounded up
to that size. The extra bytes will be 0, and any changes you make to
them will not modify the file.) " |

What exactly do you think mapping a zero-length file would do?

prot=3 => would mean PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE
MAP_SHARED I think is a invalid mode if you are trying to map it that
way, Probably you may want to remove PROT_WRITE and see whats
happening.
Thanks

That would do terrible things to the utility of shared memory -- no,
MAP_SHARED and PROT_WRITE are compatible. Maybe you're thinking of
MAP_SHARED and MAP_ANONYMOUS (which didn't used to be compatible, but is
since 2.4).

Also, MAP_SHARED is the only way to get changes written back into a
memory-mapped file, so sometimes you need MAP_SHARED with PROT_WRITE
even if you don't want shared memory (simultaneously accessible by
multiple processes). It's kind of a misleading name.

Make sure you are not logging data to a JFFS2 file system. JFFS2 does
not support MMAP.
