Logical memory blocks¶

enum lmb_flags¶: definition of memory region attributes

Constants

LMB_NONE: no special request
LMB_NOMAP: don’t add to mmu configuration

struct lmb_property¶: Description of one region.

Definition

struct lmb_property {
  phys_addr_t base;
  phys_size_t size;
  enum lmb_flags flags;
};

Members

base: Base address of the region.
size: Size of the region
flags: memory region attributes

struct lmb_region¶: Description of a set of region.

Definition

struct lmb_region {
  unsigned long cnt;
  unsigned long max;
#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_LMB_USE_MAX_REGIONS);
  struct lmb_property region[CONFIG_LMB_MAX_REGIONS];
#else;
  struct lmb_property *region;
#endif;
};

Members

cnt: Number of regions.
max: Size of the region array, max value of cnt.
region: Array of the region properties
region: Array of the region properties

struct lmb¶: Logical memory block handle.

Definition

struct lmb {
  struct lmb_region memory;
  struct lmb_region reserved;
#if !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_LMB_USE_MAX_REGIONS);
  struct lmb_property memory_regions[CONFIG_LMB_MEMORY_REGIONS];
  struct lmb_property reserved_regions[CONFIG_LMB_RESERVED_REGIONS];
#endif;
};

Members

memory: Description of memory regions.
reserved: Description of reserved regions.
memory_regions: Array of the memory regions (statically allocated)
reserved_regions: Array of the reserved regions (statically allocated)

Description

Clients provide storage for Logical memory block (lmb) handles. The content of the structure is managed by the lmb library. A lmb struct is initialized by lmb_init() functions. The lmb struct is passed to all other lmb APIs.

long lmb_reserve_flags(struct lmb *lmb, phys_addr_t base, phys_size_t size, enum lmb_flags flags)¶: Reserve one region with a specific flags bitfield.

Parameters

struct lmb *lmb: the logical memory block struct
phys_addr_t base: base address of the memory region
phys_size_t size: size of the memory region
enum lmb_flags flags: flags for the memory region

Return

0 if OK, > 0 for coalesced region or a negative error code.

int lmb_is_reserved_flags(struct lmb *lmb, phys_addr_t addr, int flags)¶: test if tha address is in reserved region with a bitfield flag

Parameters

struct lmb *lmb: the logical memory block struct
phys_addr_t addr: address to be tested
int flags: flags bitfied to be tested

Return

if not reserved or reserved without the requested flag else 1
