Subject: UIO: missing resource mapping

Hello,

I'm doing experiments with the Userspace IO driver (UIO_PCI_GENERIC) and 
a set of PCIe cards. The kernel version is 3.4.4, CPU is a Marvell 
MV78200 (ARMv5te). Example with an Intel ethernet card:

This makes /dev/uio0 appear
echo -n "8086 10d3" >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/uio_pci_generic/new_id

Suprisingly, there is no "maps" directory in /sys/class/uio/uio0 now. I 
made a small change to the UIO code:

diff --git a/drivers/uio/uio.c b/drivers/uio/uio.c
index a783d53..b639654 100644
--- a/drivers/uio/uio.c
+++ b/drivers/uio/uio.c

*idev)

         for (mi = 0; mi < MAX_UIO_MAPS; mi++) {
                 mem = &idev->info->mem[mi];
-               if (mem->size == 0)
-                       break;
+               if (mem->size == 0) {
+                       dev_err(idev->dev, "map %d has zero size\n", mi);
+                       continue; // was: break
+               }
                 if (!map_found) {
                         map_found = 1;
                         idev->map_dir = kobject_create_and_add("maps",

If I have this in the kernel and give the "echo" command as shown above 
I get:
[   43.761723] uio uio0: map 0 has zero size
[   43.765760] uio uio0: map 1 has zero size
[   43.769787] uio uio0: map 2 has zero size
[   43.774298] uio uio0: map 3 has zero size
[   43.778333] uio uio0: map 4 has zero size

On the other hand, I can see the resources:
# cat /sys/class/uio/uio0/device/resource
0x00000000c00c0000 0x00000000c00dffff 0x0000000000040200
0x00000000c0000000 0x00000000c007ffff 0x0000000000040200
0x00000000f0800000 0x00000000f080001f 0x0000000000040101
0x00000000c00e0000 0x00000000c00e3fff 0x0000000000040200
...more...

Looking further at the code, I cannot see where the mem fields are being 
filled at all.
Which code is supposed to write the struct uio_mem?

Best,
Andreas
