Struct ext2::arena::Arena

pub struct Arena<'a> {
    mem: &'a mut MemoryMapping,
    block_size: usize,
    regions: RefCell<RegionManager>,
    mappings: RefCell<Vec<FileMappingInfo>>,
}

Memory arena backed by base::MemoryMapping.

This struct takes a mutable referencet to the memory mapping so this arena won’t arena the region.

Fields

mem: &'a mut MemoryMapping

block_size: usize

regions: RefCell<RegionManager>

A set of regions that are not overlapping each other. Use RefCell for interior mutability because the mutablity of RegionManager should be independent from the mutability of the memory mapping.

mappings: RefCell<Vec<FileMappingInfo>>

Implementations

impl<'a> Arena<'a>

pub fn new(block_size: usize, mem: &'a mut MemoryMapping) -> Result<Self>

Create a new arena backed by len bytes of base::MemoryMapping.

fn reserve(&self, mem_offset: usize, len: usize) -> Result<()>

A helper function to mark a region as reserved.

pub fn reserve_for_mmap( &self, mem_offset: usize, length: usize, file: File, file_offset: usize ) -> Result<()>

Reserves a region for mmap and stores the mmap information. Note that Arena will not call mmap(). Instead, the owner of Arena instance must call into_mapping_info() to retrieve the mapping information and call mmap later instead.

pub fn allocate_slice( &self, block: BlockId, block_offset: usize, len: usize ) -> Result<&'a mut [u8]>

Allocate a new slice on an anonymous memory. Arena structs guarantees that this area is not overlapping with other regions.

pub fn allocate<T: AsBytes + FromBytes + Sized>( &self, block: BlockId, block_offset: usize ) -> Result<&'a mut T>

Allocate a new region for a value with type T.

pub fn write_to_mem<T: AsBytes + FromBytes + Sized>( &self, block_id: BlockId, block_offset: usize, value: &T ) -> Result<()>

pub fn into_mapping_info(self) -> Vec<FileMappingInfo>

Consumes Arena and retrieve mmap information.
