Subject: Pointers to contiguous pages
Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2004 13:13:46 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <411CE8BA.6060401@tteng.com.br> (raw)
alloc_pages with the desired order of pages. I'll fill these pages with
data and need to add them to the page cache. So I need individual
pointers to each page contained in the buffer. How do I get them?
Is the following code correct?
unsigned long pfn;
struct page *page = alloc_pages(mask, order);
if (!page)
return;
/* Fill the pages... */
pfn = page_to_pfn(page)
for (i=0; i<(1<<order); i++, pfn++)
{
struct page *p = pfn_to_page(pfn);
...
}
Is this correct? Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Luciano
P.S.: I tryied kernelnewbies first, but I guess the question is too
specific, nobody answered yet...
