HMM hmm_range parameter usage

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

 



Hi All,

In 5.4 kernel hmm_range structure has pfn_shift parameter. 
This parameter is removed in the latest kernel.

Can any one help me understand usage of this parameter ?

In 5.4 kernel, if this parameter set to PAGE_SHIFT, does it mean HMM framework 
expects user buffers to be 4K aligned, i.e which are allocated via mmap/aligned_alloc ?

Does HMM have any alignment requirements in 5.4 or current kernel ? Will it work 
with buffers allocated via malloc ?

Regards,
bharat
