Name
alloc_vm_area —
allocate a range of kernel address space
Synopsis
struct vm_struct * alloc_vm_area ( | size_t size); |
Returns
NULL on failure, vm_struct on success
This function reserves a range of kernel address space, and
allocates pagetables to map that range. No actual mappings
are created. If the kernel address space is not shared
between processes, it syncs the pagetable across all
processes.
