Description
Since driver version V1.0.2.0 the driver supports dma.
This requires more than only one memory (the DPM) to be mapped from kernel space to user space. The uio driver lists all mappings in the sysfs filessystem under /sys/class/uio/maps/. To be able to differentiate the various mappings from user space point of view, every mapping provides an unique name. The older uio driver does not provide memory naming, since there was no need to differentiate.
The latest version of the libcifx driver searches for 'DPM' named memory, in case it does not find the memory, the mapping fails.
Known Workarounds
- Use the uio_netx kernel module provided with the cifX driver
