way to allocate memory within a range ?

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

 



Hello,
I'd like to use kmem_cache() system, but need the memory taken from a
specific range if requested, outside the range otherwise.
I think about adding new zone and define new GFP flag to either select or
ignore the zone. Does it sound possible? Then I welcome any hint if you know
where to add the appropriated test in allocator, how to attach the
region to the new zone id).

Or slab/slub system is not designed for this, I should forget it and
opt for another system?
