◆ clib_valloc_add_chunk()

void clib_valloc_add_chunk ( clib_valloc_main_t vam,
clib_valloc_chunk_t template 
)

Add a chunk of memory to a virtual allocation arena.

Parameters
vam- clib_valloc_main_t * pointer to the allocation arena
template- clib_valloc_chunk_t * pointer to a template chunk which describes the virtual address range to add
Note
only the baseva and size member of the template chunk are significant It's perfectly OK for the new chunk to be discontinuous with previous chunks, the chunk fusion algorithm won't merge them.

◆ clib_valloc_alloc()

uword clib_valloc_alloc ( clib_valloc_main_t vam,
uword  size,
int  os_out_of_memory_on_failure 
)

Allocate virtual space.

Parameters
vam- clib_valloc_main_t * pointer to the allocation arena
size- u64 number of bytes to allocate - 1=> panic on allocation failure
Returns
uword allocated space, 0=> failure

◆ clib_valloc_free()

uword clib_valloc_free ( clib_valloc_main_t vam,
uword  baseva 
)

Free virtual space.

Parameters
vam- clib_valloc_main_t * pointer to the allocation arena
baseva- uword base virtual address of the returned space
Returns
uword - size of the freed virtual chunk
Note
the size is returned since we know it / in case the caller doesn't memorize chunk sizes

◆ clib_valloc_init()

void clib_valloc_init ( clib_valloc_main_t vam,

Initialize a virtual memory allocation arena.

Parameters
vam- clib_valloc_main_t * pointer to the arena to initialize
template- clib_valloc_chunk_t * pointer to a template chunk which describes the initial virtual address range
