◆ attach() [1/2]

long L4Re::Rm::attach ( l4_addr_t start,
unsigned long  size,
Rm::Flags  flags,
L4::Ipc::Cap< Dataspace mem,
Rm::Offset  offs = 0,
unsigned char  align = L4_PAGESHIFT,
L4::Cap< L4::Task > const  task = L4::Cap<L4::Task>::Invalid 
) const
noexcept

Attach a data space to a region.

Parameters
[in,out]startVirtual start address where the region manager shall attach the data space. Will be rounded down to the nearest start of a page. If L4Re::Rm::F::Search_addr is given this value is used as the start address to search for a free virtual memory region and the resulting address is returned here. If L4Re::Rm::F::In_area is given the value is used as a selector for the area (see L4Re::Rm::reserve_area) to attach the data space to.
sizeSize of the data space to attach (in bytes). Will be rounded up to the nearest multiple of the page size.
flagsThe flags control how and with which rights the dataspace is attached to the region. See L4Re::Rm::F::Attach_flags and L4Re::Rm::F::Region_flags. The caller must specify the desired rights of the attached region explicitly. The default set of rights is empty. If the F::Eager_map flag is set this function may also return L4Re::Dataspace::map error codes if the mapping fails.
memData space.
offsOffset into the data space to use.
alignAlignment of the virtual region, log2-size, default: a page (L4_PAGESHIFT). This is only meaningful if the L4Re::Rm::F::Search_addr flag is used.
taskOptional destination task of mapping if F::Eager_map flag was passed. If invalid, the mapping is established in the current task. This parameter is only useful if the region manager is for a foreign task.
Return values
0Success
-L4_ENOENTNo area could be found (see L4Re::Rm::F::In_area)
-L4_EPERMOperation not allowed.
-L4_EINVAL
-L4_EADDRNOTAVAILThe given address is not available.
<0IPC errors

Makes the whole or parts of a data space visible in the virtual memory of the corresponding task. The corresponding region in the virtual address space is backed with the contents of the dataspace.

Note
When searching for a free place in the virtual address space, the space between start and the end of the virtual address space is searched.
There is no region object created, instead the region is defined by a virtual address within this range (see L4Re::Rm::find).

Reserve the given area in the region map.

Parameters
[in,out]startThe virtual start address of the area to reserve. Returns the start address of the area.

This function reserves an area within the virtual address space managed by the region map. There are two kinds of areas available:

  • Special purpose areas (flags = 0), where data spaces can be attached to the area via the L4Re::Rm::F::In_area flag and a start address within the area itself.
Note
When searching for a free place in the virtual address space (with flags = L4Re::Rm::F::Search_addr), the space between start and the end of the virtual address space is searched.

Definition at line 288 of file rm.

Parameters
[in,out]startThe virtual start address of the area to reserve. Returns the start address of the area.
