.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn contigmalloc
|
|
|
|
|
function allocates
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
|
|
|
bytes of contiguous physical memory that is aligned to
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa alignment
|
|
|
|
|
bytes, and which does not cross a boundary of
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa boundary
|
|
|
|
|
bytes.
|
|
|
|
|
If successful, the allocation will reside between physical addresses
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa low
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa high .
|
|
|
|
|
The returned pointer points to a wired kernel virtual
|
|
|
|
|
address range of
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
|
|
|
bytes allocated from the kernel virtual address (KVA) map.

|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
|
|
|
.It Dv M_ZERO
|
|
|
|
|
Causes the allocated physical memory to be zero filled.

Other flags (if present) are ignored.

.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn contigfree
|
|
|
|
|
function deallocates memory allocated by a previous call to
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn contigmalloc .
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn contigmalloc
|
|
|
|
|
function does not sleep waiting for memory resources to be freed up,
|
|
|
|
|
but instead scans available physical memory a small number of times
|
|
|
|
|
for a suitably sized free address range before giving up.
|
2004-08-10 14:47:12 +00:00
|
|
|
Memory allocation is done on a first-fit basis, starting from the
|
|
|
|
|
top of the provided address range.

.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn contigmalloc
|
|
|
|
|
function returns a kernel virtual address if allocation succeeds,
|
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
|
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
|
|
|
void *p;
|
|
|
|
|
p = contigmalloc(8192, M_DEVBUF, M_ZERO, 0, (1L << 22),
|
|
|
|
|
32 * 1024, 1024 * 1024);
|
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Ask for 8192 bytes of zero-filled memory residing between physical
|
|
|
|
|
address 0 and 4194303 inclusive, aligned to a 32K boundary and not
|
|
|
|
|
crossing a 1M address boundary.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn contigmalloc
|
|
|
|
|
function will panic if
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
|
|
|
is zero, or if
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa alignment
|
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa boundary
|
|
|
|
|
is not a power of two.
