Linux assumes 1:1 mapping of kernel virtual addresses, with various exceptions.
virt_to_bus() and virt_to_phys() only work on that statically mapped area's virtual addreses.
ioremap() dynamically establishes translations for the areas, and the virtual addresses returned by it are not valid to resolve to physical addresses with virt_to_bus() and virt_to_phys().
Probably the best way to find the physical address is by a direct pagetable lookup. Something like the following (untested) may be of use:
static dma_addr_t ioremap_to_phys(unsigned long vaddr) { pgd_t *pgd; pmd_t *pmd; pte_t *pte;
pgd = pgd_offset_k(vaddr); if (!pgd_present(*pgd)) return 0; pmd = pmd_offset(pgd, vaddr); if (!pmd_present(*pmd)) return 0; pte = pte_offset_kernel(pmd, vaddr); if (!pte_present(*pte)) return 0; return ((dma_addr_t)pte_pfn(*pte) << PAGE_SHIFT) | (addr & ~PAGE_MASK); }
