.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm shm_map , shm_unmap
|
|
.Nd "map shared memory objects into the kernel's address space"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In sys/mman.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn shm_map "struct file *fp" "size_t size" "off_t offset" "void **memp"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn shm_unmap "struct file *fp" "void *mem" "size_t size"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn shm_map
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn shm_unmap
|
|
functions provide an API for mapping shared memory objects into the kernel.
|
|
Shared memory objects are created by
|
|
.Xr shm_open 2 .
|
|
These objects can then be passed into the kernel via file descriptors.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A shared memory object cannot be shrunk while it is mapped into the kernel.
|
|
This is to avoid invalidating any pages that may be wired into the kernel's
|
|
address space.
|
|
Shared memory objects can still be grown while mapped into the kernel.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To simplify the accounting needed to enforce the above requirement,
|
|
callers of this API are required to unmap the entire region mapped by
|
|
.Fn shm_map
|
|
when calling
|
|
.Fn shm_unmap .
|
|
Unmapping only a portion of the region is not permitted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn shm_map
|
|
function locates the shared memory object associated with the open file
|
|
.Fa fp .
|
|
It maps the region of that object described by
|
|
.Fa offset
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
into the kernel's address space.
|
|
If it succeeds,
|
|
.Fa *memp
|
|
will be set to the start of the mapping.
|
|
All pages for the range will be wired into memory upon successful return.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn shm_unmap
|
|
function unmaps a region previously mapped by
|
|
.Fn shm_map .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa mem
|
|
argument should match the value previously returned in
|
|
.Fa *memp ,
|
|
and the
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
argument should match the value passed to
|
|
.Fn shm_map .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Fn shm_map
|
|
will not hold an extra reference on the open file
|
|
.Fa fp
|
|
for the lifetime of the mapping.
|
|
Instead,
|
|
the calling code is required to do this if it wishes to use
|
|
.Fn shm_unmap
|
|
on the region in the future.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn shm_map
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn shm_unmap
|
|
functions return zero on success or an error on failure.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following function accepts a file descriptor for a shared memory
|
|
object.
|
|
It maps the first sixteen kilobytes of the object into the kernel,
|
|
performs some work on that address,
|
|
and then unmaps the address before returning.

}

.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn shm_map
|
|
function returns the following errors on failure:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The open file
|
|
.Fa fp
|
|
is not a shared memory object.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The requested region described by
|
|
.Fa offset
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
extends beyond the end of the shared memory object.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
|
|
Insufficient address space was available.
|
|
.It Bq Er EACCES
|
|
The shared memory object could not be mapped due to a protection error.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The shared memory object could not be mapped due to some other VM error.

.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The open file
|
|
.Fa fp
|
|
is not a shared memory object.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The address range described by

|
.Fa mem
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa size

is not a valid address range.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The address range described by
|
|
.Fa mem
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
is not backed by the shared memory object associated with the open file
|
|
.Fa fp ,
|
|
or the address range does not cover the entire mapping of the object.
