page_aligned_alloc()

void * page_aligned_alloc

(

size_t

unaligned_size

)

allocate memory aligned to the system page size.

this is useful for file_cache_alloc, which uses this allocator to get sector-aligned (hopefully; see sys_max_sector_size) IO buffers.

note that this allocator is stateless and very little error checking can be performed.

the memory is initially writable and you can use mprotect to set other access permissions if desired.

Parameters

unaligned_size

minimum size [bytes] to allocate.

Returns

page-aligned and -padded memory or 0 on error / out of memory.

page_aligned_free()

void page_aligned_free	(	void *	p,
		size_t	unaligned_size
	)

free a previously allocated page-aligned region.

Parameters

p	Exact value returned from page_aligned_alloc
unaligned_size	Exact value passed to page_aligned_alloc
