| 1.22 |
| 02-Dec-2023 |
thorpej | Add a vmem_xalloc_addr() function, which allocates a specific address
from an arena. This is just a convenience wrapper around vmem_xalloc(),
that's just a bit more obvious how to use and performs some additional
sanity checks.
|
| 1.21 |
| 15-Oct-2022 |
riastradh | vmem(9): Clarify possible failure modes.
Note that vmem_alloc and vmem_xalloc have failure modes -- failing
with ENOMEM despite VM_SLEEP, or importing or sleeping forever --
that appear to be bugs when align/phase/nocross/minaddr/maxaddr are
specified.
|
| 1.20 |
| 16-Jun-2020 |
thorpej | Add vmem_xfreeall(), which frees all allocated regions in the specified arena.
All outstanding allocations MUST have been performed with vmem_xalloc() or
else the behavior is undefined. (This also implies that the arena must also
not have a quantum cache; note this in the documentation.)

| 1.19 |
| 06-Nov-2019 |
wiz | Remove superfluous Pp.
|
| 1.18 |
| 05-Nov-2019 |
dyoung | Fix typo: vmem_add(9) does not actually take an `addrp` argument.
|
| 1.17 |
| 03-Jul-2017 |
wiz | branches: 1.17.6;
Remove workaround for ancient HTML generation code.
|
| 1.16 |
| 29-Feb-2016 |
chs | fix vmem_alloc() to never return an error for VM_SLEEP requests,
thus fixing kmem_alloc() to never return NULL for KM_SLEEP requests.
instead these operations will retry forever, which was the intent.
|
| 1.15 |
| 29-Jan-2013 |
wiz | branches: 1.15.8;
Bump date for previous.
|
| 1.14 |
| 29-Jan-2013 |
para | bring man page up to date for vmem_xcreate and
the changed function signature of vmem_create
|
| 1.13 |
| 05-Sep-2011 |
wiz | branches: 1.13.2; 1.13.8;
Remove trailing whitespace.
|
| 1.12 |
| 02-Sep-2011 |
dyoung | Update vmem(9). Changes to the implementation and usage are following,
soon.
|
| 1.11 |
| 23-Aug-2011 |
wiz | Bump date for previous.
|
| 1.10 |
| 23-Aug-2011 |
dyoung | Introduce a couple of new constants, VMEM_ADDR_MIN (the least possible
address in a vmem(9) arena, 0) and VMEM_ADDR_MAX (the maximum possible
address, currently 0xFFFFFFFF). Modify several boundary conditions so
that a vmem(9) arena can allocate ranges including VMEM_ADDR_MAX.
Update documentation and tests.
These changes pass the tests in sys/kern/subr_vmem.c. To compile the
and run the test program, run "cd sys/kern/ && gcc -DVMEM_SANITY -o
subr_vmem ./subr_vmem.c && ./subr_vmem".
|
| 1.9 |
| 02-Dec-2010 |
wiz | Remove boilerplate in CODE REFERENCES on file paths.
Describe in intro(9) how to read paths in the CODE REFERENCES section.
|
| 1.8 |
| 22-Dec-2009 |
wiz | Remove trailing whitespace, make HTML-ready, sort sections.
|
| 1.7 |
| 21-Dec-2009 |
dyoung | Describe arguments "allocfn", "freefn", and "source" of vmem_create(9)
in more detail. Describe vmem_add(9). Write a new BUGS section that
warns about aspects of vmem(9) behavior that may surprise first-time
users.
|
| 1.6 |
| 03-Aug-2009 |
rmind | Merge vmem_alloc(9) & friends (it's a whole company) into a single vmem(9).
|
| 1.5 |
| 16-Feb-2007 |
rmind | - Add link to memoryallocators(9) in kmem_*(9), vmem(9), uvm(9), malloc(9),
pool(9) and pool_cache(9) manuals.
- Sort uvm(9) "SEE ALSO" section.
