/** @file * * Buffer internals. * * A buffer consists of a single, contiguous area of memory, some of * which is "filled" and the remainder of which is "free". The * "filled" and "free" spaces are not necessarily contiguous. * * When a buffer is initialised via init_buffer(), it consists of a * single free space. As data is added to the buffer via * fill_buffer(), this free space decreases and can become fragmented. * * Each free block within a buffer starts with a "tail byte". If the * tail byte is non-zero, this indicates that the free block is the * tail of the buffer, i.e. occupies all the remaining space up to the * end of the buffer. When the tail byte is non-zero, it indicates * that a descriptor (a @c struct @c buffer_free_block) follows the * tail byte. The descriptor describes the size of the free block and * the address of the next free block. * * We cannot simply always start a free block with a descriptor, * because it is conceivable that we will, at some point, encounter a * situation in which the final free block of a buffer is too small to * contain a descriptor. Consider a protocol with a blocksize of 512 * downloading a 1025-byte file into a 1025-byte buffer. Suppose that * the first two blocks are received; we have now filled 1024 of the * 1025 bytes in the buffer, and our only free block consists of the * 1025th byte. Using a "tail byte" solves this problem. * * * Note that the rather convoluted way of manipulating the buffer * descriptors (using copy_{to,from}_phys rather than straightforward * pointers) is needed to cope with operation as a PXE stack, when we * may be running in real mode or 16-bit protected mode, and therefore * cannot directly access arbitrary areas of memory using simple * pointers. * */ #include "stddef.h" #include "string.h" #include "io.h" #include "errno.h" #include "buffer.h" /** * Initialise a buffer. * * @v buffer The buffer to be initialised * @ret None * @err None * * Set @c buffer->start and @c buffer->end before calling init_buffer(). * init_buffer() will initialise the buffer to the state of being * empty. * */ void init_buffer ( struct buffer *buffer ) { char tail = 1; buffer->fill = 0; if ( buffer->end != buffer->start ) copy_to_phys ( buffer->start, &tail, sizeof ( tail ) ); DBG ( "BUFFER [%x,%x) initialised\n", buffer->start, buffer->end ); } /** * Split a free block. * * @v desc A descriptor for the free block * @v block Start address of the block * @v split Address at which to split the block * @ret None * @err None * * Split a free block into two separate free blocks.
