From 9ac7849e35f705830f7b016ff272b0ff1f7ff759 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2007 16:00:26 +0900 Subject: devres: device resource management Implement device resource management, in short, devres. A device driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated with a release function. On driver detach, release function is invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed. devreses are typed by associated release functions. Some devreses are better represented by single instance of the type while others need multiple instances sharing the same release function. Both usages are supported. devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4 ports). This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following managed interfaces. * alloc/free : devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree() * IO region : devm_request_region(), devm_release_region() * IRQ : devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq() * DMA : dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(), dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(), dmam_pool_destroy() * PCI : pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed() * iomap : devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(), devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(), pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap() Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik --- include/linux/dmapool.h | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/linux/dmapool.h') diff --git a/include/linux/dmapool.h b/include/linux/dmapool.h index 76f12f4..022e34f 100644 --- a/include/linux/dmapool.h +++ b/include/linux/dmapool.h @@ -24,5 +24,12 @@ void *dma_pool_alloc(struct dma_pool *pool, gfp_t mem_flags, void dma_pool_free(struct dma_pool *pool, void *vaddr, dma_addr_t addr); +/* + * Managed DMA pool + */ +struct dma_pool *dmam_pool_create(const char *name, struct device *dev, + size_t size, size_t align, size_t allocation); +void dmam_pool_destroy(struct dma_pool *pool); + #endif -- cgit v1.1
