1/* 2 * hugepage-mmap: 3 * 4 * Example of using huge page memory in a user application using the mmap 5 * system call. Before running this application, make sure that the 6 * administrator has mounted the hugetlbfs filesystem (on some directory 7 * like /mnt) using the command mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt. In this 8 * example, the app is requesting memory of size 256MB that is backed by 9 * huge pages. 10 * 11 * For the ia64 architecture, the Linux kernel reserves Region number 4 for 12 * huge pages. That means that if one requires a fixed address, a huge page 13 * aligned address starting with 0x800000... will be required. If a fixed 14 * address is not required, the kernel will select an address in the proper 15 * range. 16 * Other architectures, such as ppc64, i386 or x86_64 are not so constrained. 17 */ 18 19#include <stdlib.h> 20#include <stdio.h> 21#include <unistd.h> 22#include <sys/mman.h> 23#include <fcntl.h> 24 25#define FILE_NAME "huge/hugepagefile" 26#define LENGTH (256UL*1024*1024) 27#define PROTECTION (PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE) 28 29/* Only ia64 requires this */ 30#ifdef __ia64__ 31#define ADDR (void *)(0x8000000000000000UL) 32#define FLAGS (MAP_SHARED | MAP_FIXED) 33#else 34#define ADDR (void *)(0x0UL) 35#define FLAGS (MAP_SHARED) 36#endif 37 38static void check_bytes(char *addr) 39{ 40 printf("First hex is %x\n", *((unsigned int *)addr)); 41} 42 43static void write_bytes(char *addr) 44{ 45 unsigned long i; 46 47 for (i = 0; i < LENGTH; i++) 48 *(addr + i) = (char)i; 49} 50 51static int read_bytes(char *addr) 52{ 53 unsigned long i; 54 55 check_bytes(addr); 56 for (i = 0; i < LENGTH; i++) 57 if (*(addr + i) != (char)i) { 58 printf("Mismatch at %lu\n", i); 59 return 1; 60 } 61 return 0; 62} 63 64int main(void) 65{ 66 void *addr; 67 int fd, ret; 68 69 fd = open(FILE_NAME, O_CREAT | O_RDWR, 0755); 70 if (fd < 0) { 71 perror("Open failed"); 72 exit(1); 73 } 74 75 addr = mmap(ADDR, LENGTH, PROTECTION, FLAGS, fd, 0); 76 if (addr == MAP_FAILED) { 77 perror("mmap"); 78 unlink(FILE_NAME); 79 exit(1); 80 } 81 82 printf("Returned address is %p\n", addr); 83 check_bytes(addr); 84 write_bytes(addr); 85 ret = read_bytes(addr); 86 87 munmap(addr, LENGTH); 88 close(fd); 89 unlink(FILE_NAME); 90 91 return ret; 92} 93
