  • Linux驱动技术(一) _内存申请

    先上基础,下图是Linux的内存映射模型

    1. 每一个进程都有自己的进程空间,进程空间的0-3G是用户空间,3G-4G是内核空间
    2. 每个进程的用户空间不在同一个物理内存页,但是所有的进程的内核空间对应同样的物理地址
    3. vmalloc分配的地址可以高端内存,也可以是低端内存
    4. 0-896MB的物理地址是线性映射到物理映射区的。
    5. 内核参数和系统页表都在TEXT_OFFSET保存,除了进程除了访问自身的用户空间对应的DRAM内存页外,都要经过内核空间,也就是都要切换到内核态

    内存动态申请

    和应用层一样,内核程序也需要动态的分配内存,不同的是,内核进程可以控制分配的内存是在用户空间还是内核空间,前者可以用于给用户空间的堆区分配内存,eg,用户进程的用户空间的malloc最终就会通过系统调用回调内核空间的内存分配函数,此时该内存分配函数就属于该用户进程,可以给在该用户进程的堆区分配空间并返回,最终使得一个用会进程在自己的用户空间获得内存分配;后者只在内核空间分配,所以用户进程不能直接访问该空间,所以多用在满足内核程序自身的内存需求,下面是Linux内核空间申请内存常用API:

    kmalloc - kfree

    kmalloc申请的内存在物理内存上是连续的,他们与真实的物理地址只有一个固定的偏移,因此存在简单的转换关系。这个API 多用来申请不到一个page大小的内存。kmalloc的底层需要调用__get_free_pages,参数中表示内存类型的gtp_t flags正是这个函数的缩写,常用的内存类型有GFP_USER,GFP_KERNEL,GFP_ATOMIC几种。

    • GFP_USER表示为用户空间页分配内存,可以阻塞;

    • GFP_KERNEL是最常用的flag,注意,使用这个flag来申请内存时,如果暂时不能满足,会引起进程阻塞,So,一定不要在中断处理函数tasklet内核定时器等非进程上下文中使用GFP_KERNEL!!!

    • GFP_ATOMIC就可以用于上述三种情境,这个flag表示如果申请的内存不能用,则立即返回。

    /**
     * kmalloc - allocate memory
     * @size: how many bytes of memory are required.
     * @flags: the type of memory to allocate.
     * The @flags argument may be one of:
     * %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user.  May sleep.
     * %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram.  May sleep.
     * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep.  May use emergency pools.
     * 
     * For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
     */
    void *kmalloc(size_t size, gfp_t flags);
    /**
     * kfree - free previously allocated memory
     * @objp: pointer returned by kmalloc.
     * If @objp is NULL, no operation is performed.
     */
    void kfree(const void *objp);
    

    同系列API还有

    void *kzalloc(size_t size, gfp_t flags)    
    

    __get_free_pages - free_pages

    __get_free_pages()与kmalloc()一样是物理连续的内存,这一系列函数是Linux内核中最底层的用于获取空闲内存的方法,因为底层的buddy算法都是以(2^n)×PAGE_SIZE来管理内存的,所以他们总是以页为单位分配内存

    unsigned long __get_free_pages(gfp_t gfp_mask, unsigned int order)  
    void free_pages(unsigned long addr, unsigned int order)  
    

    同系列API还有

    unsigned long __get_free_page(gfp_t gfp)        
    unsigned long get_zeroed_page(gfp_t gfp_mask)    
    struct page *alloc_pages(gfp_t gfp_mask, unsigned int order)
    
    void free_page(unsigned long addr)  
    

    vmalloc - vfree

    vmalloc在虚拟内存空间给出一块连续的内存区,实质上,这片连续的虚拟内存在物理内存中并不一定连续,所以vmalloc申请的虚拟内存和物理内存之间也就没有简单的换算关系,正因如此,vmalloc()通常用于分配远大于__get_free_pages()的内存空间,它的实现需要建立新的页表,此外还会调用使用GFP_KERN的kmalloc,so,一定不要在中断处理函数tasklet内核定时器等非进程上下文中使用vmalloc!

    /**     
     * vmalloc  -  allocate virtually contiguous memory
     * @size:          allocation size
     * Allocate enough pages to cover @size from the page level allocator and map them into contiguous kernel virtual space.
     */
    void *vmalloc(unsigned long size)   
    
    /**
     *      vfree  -  release memory allocated by vmalloc()
     *      @addr:          memory base address
     */
    void vfree(const void *addr)  
    

    同系列的API还有

    /**
     * vmalloc_32  -  allocate virtually contiguous memory (32bit addressable)
     * @size:          allocation size
     * Allocate enough 32bit PA addressable pages to cover @size from the page level allocator and map them into contiguous kernel virtual space.
     */
    void *vmalloc_32(unsigned long size) 
    

    slab缓存

    我们知道,页是内存映射的基本单位,但内核中很多频繁创建的对象所需内存都不到一页,此时如果仍然按照页映射的方式,频繁的进行分配和释放就会造成资源的浪费,同时也会降低系统性能。为了解决的这样的问题,内核引入了slab机制,使对象在前后两次被使用时被分配在同一块内存或同一类内存空间,且保留了基本的数据结构,就可以大大提高效率。kmalloc的底层即是使用slab算法管理分配的内存的。注意,slab依然是以页为单位进行映射,只是映射之后分割这些页为相同的更小的单元,从而节省了内存。slab分配的单元不能小于32B或大于128K。

    /**
     * kmem_cache_create - 创建slab缓存对象
     * @name:slab缓存区名字,
     * @size:slab分配的缓存区的每一个单元的大小
     * @align:缓存区内存的对齐方式,一般给0
     * @flags:控制分配的位掩码,
     * %SLAB_POISON - Poison the slab with a known test pattern (a5a5a5a5) to catch references to uninitialised memory.
     * %SLAB_RED_ZONE - Insert `Red' zones around the allocated memory to check for buffer overruns.
     * %SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN - Align the objects in this cache to a hardware cacheline.  This can be beneficial if you're counting cycles as closely as davem.
     * %SLAB_CACHE_DMA - Use GFP_DMA memory
     * %SLAB_STORE_USER - Store the last owner for bug hunting
     *define SLAB_PANIC - Panic if kmem_cache_create() fails 
     */
    struct kmem_cache *kmem_cache_create(const char *name, size_t size, size_t align,unsigned long flags, void (*ctor)(void *))
    
    
    /**
     * kmem_cache_alloc - Allocate an object from this cache. 
     * @cachep: The cache to allocate from.
     * @flags: See kmalloc().
     * The flags are only relevant if the cache has no available objects.
     */
    void *kmem_cache_alloc(struct kmem_cache *cachep, gfp_t flags)  
    
    
    /**
     * kmem_cache_free - Deallocate an object
     * @cachep: The cache the allocation was from.
     * @objp: The previously allocated object.
     * Free an object which was previously allocated from this cache.
     */
    void kmem_cache_free(struct kmem_cache *cachep, void *objp)  
    
    
    void kmem_cache_destroy(struct kmem_cache *s)  
    

    范例

    //创建slab对象
    struct kmem_cache_t *xj_sbcache;
    xj_sbcache = kmem_cache_create("xjslab",sizeof(struct xj_unit_t),0,SLAB_CACHE_DMA|SLAB_PANIC,NULL,NULL);
    
    //分配slab缓存
    struct xj_unit_t *xj_unit;
    xj_unit = kmem_cache_alloc(xj_sbcache,GFP_KERNEL);
    
    /* 使用slab缓存 */
    
    /* 释放slab缓存 */
    kmem_cache_free(xj_sbcache, xj_unit);
    
    /* 销毁slab缓存 */
    kmem_cache_destroy(xj_sbcache);
    

    内存池

    除了slab机制,内核还提供了传统的内存池机制来管理小块内存的分配。内存池主要是用来解决可能出现的内存不足的情况,因为一个内存池在创建的时候就已经分配好了一内存,当我们用mempool_alloc向一个已经创建好的内存池申请申请内存时,该函数首先会尝试回调内存池创建时的分配内存函数,如果已经没有内存可以分配,他就会使用内存池创建时预先分配的内存,这样就可以避免因为无内存分配而陷入休眠,当然,如果预分配的内存也已经使用完毕,还是会陷入休眠。slab机制的目的是提高内存使用率以及内存管理效率,内存池的目的是避免内存的分配失败。下面是内核中提供的关于内存池的API

    /**     
     * mempool_create - create a memory pool
     * @min_nr:    the minimum number of elements guaranteed to be  allocated for this pool.
     * @alloc_fn:  user-defined element-allocation function.
     * @free_fn:   user-defined element-freeing function.
     * @pool_data: optional private data available to the user-defined functions.
     *              
     * this function creates and allocates a guaranteed size, preallocated memory pool. The pool can be used from the mempool_alloc() and mempool_free() functions. 
     * This function might sleep. Both the alloc_fn() and the free_fn() functions might sleep - as long as the mempool_alloc() function is not called from IRQ contexts.
     */
    mempool_t *mempool_create(int min_nr, mempool_alloc_t *alloc_fn, mempool_free_t *free_fn, void *pool_data)
    
    /**     
     * mempool_alloc - allocate an element from a specific memory pool
     * @pool:      pointer to the memory pool which was allocated via mempool_create().
     * @gfp_mask:  the usual allocation bitmask.
     * this function only sleeps if the alloc_fn() function sleeps or returns NULL. Note that due to preallocation, this function never* fails when called from process contexts. (it might fail if called from an IRQ context.)
     */     
    void * mempool_alloc(mempool_t *pool, gfp_t gfp_mask)    
    
    /**
     * mempool_free - return an element to the pool.
     * @element:   pool element pointer.
     * @pool:      pointer to the memory pool which was allocated via mempool_create().
     *
     * this function only sleeps if the free_fn() function sleeps.
     */     
    void mempool_free(void *element, mempool_t *pool)    
    
    /**
     * mempool_destroy - deallocate a memory pool
     * @pool:      pointer to the memory pool which was allocated via mempool_create().
     *
     * Free all reserved elements in @pool and @pool itself.  This function only sleeps if the free_fn() function sleeps.
     */     
    void mempool_destroy(mempool_t *pool)
