Fixed Block Manager cre_mpf - Create Fixed-Size Memorypool

RTEMS ITRON 3.0 API User's Guide

10.4.1: cre_mpf - Create Fixed-Size Memorypool

CALLING SEQUENCE:

ER cre_mpf(
  ID mpfid,
  T_CMPF *pk_cmpf
);

STATUS CODES:

E_OK - Normal Completion

E_NOMEM - Insufficient memory (Memory for control block and/or for memorypool cannot be allocated)

E_ID - Invalid ID number (mpfid was invalid or could not be used)

E_RSATR - Reserved attribute (mpfatr was invalid or could not be used)

E_OBJ - Invalid object state (a memorypool of the same ID already exists)

E_OACV - Object access violation (A mpfid less than -4 was specified from a user task. This is implementation dependent.)

E_PAR - Parameter error (pk_cmpf is invalid or mpfsz and/or blfsz is negative or invalid)

DESCRIPTION:

This system call creates a fixed-size memorypool having the ID number specified by mpfid. Specifically, a memory area of a size based on values of mpfcnt and blfsz is reserved for use as a memorypool. A control block for the memorypool being created is also allocated. The get_blf system call specifying the memorypool created by this call can be issued to allocate memory blocks of the size given by blfsz (in bytes).

NOTES:

The memory area required for creating memorypools and for allocating control blocks for each object is allocated while system initialization. Associated parameters are therefore specified at system configuration.
