RSM_MEMSEG_IMPORT_MAP(3RSM)RSM_MEMSEG_IMPORT_MAP(3RSM)NAME
rsm_memseg_import_map, rsm_memseg_import_unmap - map or unmap imported
segment
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lrsm [ library... ]
#include <rsmapi.h>
int rsm_memseg_import_map(rsm_memseg_import_handle_t im_memseg,
void **address, rsm_attribute_t attr,
rsm_permission_t perm, off_t offset, size_t length);
int rsm_memseg_import_unmap(rsm_memseg_import_handle_t im_memseg);
DESCRIPTION
The rsm_memseg_import_map() and rsm_memseg_import_unmap() functions
provide for mapping and unmapping operations on imported segments. The
mapping operations are only available for native architecture intercon‐
nects such as Dolphin-SCI or Sun Fire Link. Mapping a segment allows
that segment to be accessed by CPU memory operations, saving the over‐
head of calling the memory access primitives described on the rsm_mem‐
seg_import_get(3RSM) and rsm_memseg_import_put(3RSM) manual pages.
The rsm_memseg_import_map() function maps an import segment into call‐
er's address space for the segment to be accessed by CPU memory opera‐
tions. The im_memseg argument represents the import segment that is
being mapped. The location where the process's address space is mapped
to the segment is pointed to by the address argument. The attr argi‐
ment can be one fo the following:
RSM_MAP_NONE
The system will choose available virtual address to
map and return its value in the address argument.
RSM_MAP_FIXED
The import segment should be mapped at the requested
virtual address specified in the address argument.
The perm argument determines whether read, write or a combination of
accesses are permitted to the data being mapped. It can be either
RSM_PERM_READ, RSM_PERM_WRITE, or RSM_PERM_RDWR.
The offset argument is the byte offset location from the base of the
segment being mapped to address. The length argument indicates the num‐
ber of bytes from offset to be mapped.
The rsm_memseg_import_unmap() function unmaps a previously mapped
import segment.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, these functions return 0. Otherwise, an
error value is returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The rsm_memseg_import_map() and rsm_memseg_import_unmap() functions can
return the following errors:
RSMERR_BAD_SEG_HNDL
Invalid segment handle.
The rsm_memseg_import_map() function can return the following errors:
RSMERR_BAD_ADDR
Invalid address.
RSMERR_BAD_LENGTH
Invalid length.
RSMERR_BAD_MEM_ALIGNMENT
The address is not aligned on a page
boundary.
RSMERR_BAD_OFFSET
Invalid offset.
RSMERR_BAD_PERMS
Invalid permissions.
RSMERR_CONN_ABORTED
Connection aborted.
RSMERR_MAP_FAILED
Map failure.
RSMERR_SEG_ALREADY_MAPPED
Segment already mapped.
RSMERR_SEG_NOT_CONNECTED
Segment not connected.
