[PATCH 03/17] prmem: vmalloc support for dynamic allocation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Prepare vmalloc for:
- tagging areas used for dynamic allocation of protected memory
- supporting various tags, related to the property that an area might have
- extrapolating the pool containing a given area
- chaining the areas in each pool
- extrapolating the area containing a given memory address

NOTE:
Since there is a list_head structure that is used only when disposing of
the allocation (the field purge_list), there are two pointers for the take,
before it comes the time of freeing the allocation.
To avoid increasing the size of the vmap_area structure, instead of
using a standard doubly linked list for tracking the chain of
vmap_areas, only one pointer is spent for this purpose, in a single
linked list, while the other is used to provide a direct connection to the
parent pool.
