scif_register() fails with Bad Address for mmap()-ed region

[Andreas3]

I do not know if this is the correct place to ask this question since KNC and KNL porducts are discontinued.

So, I am trying to access some physical addresses by mmap()-ing the /dev/mem file.

However scif_register() fails with Bad address.

As required by the API (http://registrationcenter.intel.com/irc_nas/4633/scif_userguide.pdf) 

addr, offset and len parameters to scif_register() are multiples of 4KiB.

Does anyone have a clue on why scif_register() fails for mmap()-ed regions?

    scif_epd_t epd = scif_open();
    if (epd == SCIF_OPEN_FAILED) {
        perror("scif_open(): cannot create a new endpoint");
        return false;
    }
 
    uint16_t port = 2;
    size_t len = getpagesize();
    int prot_flags = SCIF_PROT_READ | SCIF_PROT_WRITE;
    int map_flags = SCIF_MAP_FIXED;

    int flags = O_RDWR;
    flags |= O_SYNC;
    int fd = open("/dev/mem", flags);
    if (fd < 0) {
        perror("ERROR: Failed to open /dev/mem");
        exit(-1);
    }

    // Truncate offset to a multiple of the page size, or mmap will fail.
    size_t page_base = (phys_addr / getpagesize()) * getpagesize();
    if (page_base != phys_addr) {
        fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: The given physical address is not a multiple of the page size.");
        exit(-1);
    }

    void *virt_addr = mmap(NULL, len, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED | MAP_LOCKED, fd, page_base);
    if (virt_addr == MAP_FAILED) {
        perror("ERROR: Failed to mmap /dev/mem");
        exit(-1);
    }

    int port_given = scif_bind(epd, port);
    if (port_given < 0) {
        perror("scif_bind() failed");
        return false;
    }

    struct scif_portID *dst = (struct scif_portID *) malloc(sizeof(struct scif_portID));
    dst->node = conf->remote_peer_;
    dst->port = 1;

    int port_id = scif_connect(epd, dst);
    if (port_id < 0) {
        perror("scif_connect() failed");
        return false;
    }

    // addr and len are constrained to be multiples of the page size.
    off_t offset = scif_register(epd, virt_addr, len, 0, prot_flags, map_flags);
    if (offset == SCIF_REGISTER_FAILED) {
        perror("scif_register() failed");
        return false;
    }

Hi,

We would like to inform you that oneAPI is not supported on KNL and KNC. Hence we will not be able to provide any support on this case further. Please raise a new thread if you run into a problem with oneAPI on the supported platform. We will be happy to assist you on that.
