[PATCH 1/4] bus/pci: Use force-noreplace flag when mapping PCI resources

Jake Freeland jfree at FreeBSD.org
Tue May 6 19:40:41 CEST 2025


When mapping PCI resources in secondary processes, use the
RTE_MAP_FORCE_ADDRESS_NOREPLACE flag to indicate that the
mapping must be made at the provided address.

Without this flag, the kernel might return a different address for
the mapping, even if the requested region was available.
