I knew that pci_alloc_consistent() will return both kernel virtual address and physical address. If I pass the physical address (dma_handler) to mmap, it return -1. However if I pass the kernel virtual address to mmap, I got a pointer point to the worng memory.

You want to mmap() the dma_handle, not the CPU pointer.

In driver I have an IOCTL option IO_DMA_ALLOC to allocate the DMA buffer by using pci_alloc_consistent() and return the allocated physical address to user space.
 
In user space testing program:
 
1. Call IOCTL IO_DMA_ALLOC to allocate a 64Kbyte DMA buffer. The physical address of the allocated buffer is 0x03bb0000.
2. Open /dev/mem and call mmap(0,64*1024,PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,MAP_SHARED,fd,0x03bb0000) ;  
 
the return of mmap is -1.
