hi,

i use an test application that used mmap function, here is snippets:

mem = mmap(0 /* start anywhere */ ,

                vlength, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd,offset);

     

if (mem == MAP_FAILED) {

            perror("Unable to map buffer");

            goto fatal;

        }

the application can't run ,the mem's value is MAP_FAILED. Dose mmap fucntion work need some condtion??
