Functions

__rte_internal void * rte_mem_map (void *requested_addr, size_t size, int prot, int flags, int fd, uint64_t offset)

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum rte_mem_prot

Memory protection flags.

Enumerator

RTE_PROT_READ: Read access.
RTE_PROT_WRITE: Write access.
RTE_PROT_EXECUTE: Code execution.

Definition at line 17 of file rte_eal_paging.h.

enum rte_map_flags

Additional flags for memory mapping.

Enumerator

RTE_MAP_SHARED: Changes to the mapped memory are visible to other processes.
RTE_MAP_ANONYMOUS: Mapping is not backed by a regular file.
RTE_MAP_PRIVATE: Copy-on-write mapping, changes are invisible to other processes.
RTE_MAP_FORCE_ADDRESS: Force mapping to the requested address. This flag should be used with caution, because to fulfill the request implementation may remove all other mappings in the requested region. However, it is not required to do so, thus mapping with this flag may fail.

Function Documentation

__rte_internal void * rte_mem_map (void * requested_addr, size_t size, int prot, int flags, int fd, uint64_t offset)

Map a portion of an opened file or the page file into memory.

This function is similar to POSIX mmap(3) with common MAP_ANONYMOUS extension, except for the return value.

Parameters

requested_addr Desired virtual address for mapping. Can be NULL to let OS choose.
size Size of the mapping in bytes.
prot Protection flags, a combination of rte_mem_prot values.
flags Additional mapping flags, a combination of rte_map_flags.
fd Mapped file descriptor. Can be negative for anonymous mapping.
offset Offset of the mapped region in fd. Must be 0 for anonymous mappings.

Returns

Mapped address or NULL on failure and rte_errno is set to OS error.
