深层剖析鸿蒙轻内核M核的动态内存如何支持多段非连续性内存

摘要：鸿蒙轻内核M核新增支持了多段非连续性内存区域，把多个非连续性内存逻辑上合一，用户不感知底层的不同内存块。

本文分享自华为云社区《鸿蒙轻内核M核源码分析系列九 动态内存Dynamic Memory 补充》，作者：zhushy。

一些芯片片内RAM大小无法满足要求，需要使用片外物理内存进行扩充。对于多段非连续性内存，需要内存管理模块统一管理，应用使用内存接口时不需要关注内存分配属于哪块物理内存，不感知多块内存。

多段非连续性内存如下图所示：

鸿蒙轻内核M核新增支持了多段非连续性内存区域，把多个非连续性内存逻辑上合一，用户不感知底层的不同内存块。本文来分析下动态内存模块的支持多段非连续内存的源码，帮助读者掌握其使用。本文中所涉及的源码，以OpenHarmony LiteOS-M内核为例，均可以在开源站点https://gitee.com/openharmony/kernel_liteos_m 获取。接下来，我们看下新增的结构体、宏和对外接口的源代码。

1、结构体定义和常用宏定义

在文件kernel/include/los_memory.h中新增了结构体LosMemRegion用于维护多个非连续的内存区域，包含各个内存区域的开始地址和大小。如下：

typedef struct {
    VOID *startAddress; /* 内存区域的开始地址 */
    UINT32 length;      /* 内存区域的长度 */
} LosMemRegion;

需要注意这个结构体的定义需要开启宏LOSCFG_MEM_MUL_REGIONS的情况下才生效，这个宏也是支持非连续内存区域的配置宏，定义在文件kernel/include/los_config.h中。

我们继续看下新增的几个宏函数，定义在文件kernel/src/mm/los_memory.c，代码下下文:

注释讲的比较明白，当开启LOSCFG_MEM_MUL_REGIONS支持非连续内存特性时，会把两个不连续内存区域之间的间隔Gap区域标记为虚拟的已使用内存节点。这个节点当然不能被释放，在内存调测特性中也不能被统计。因为我们只是把它视为已使用内存节点，但其实不是。在动态内存算法中每个内存节点都维护一个指向前序节点的指针，对于虚拟已使用节点，我们把该指针设置为魔术字，来标记它是个内存区域的间隔部分。

⑴处定义了一个魔术字OS_MEM_GAP_NODE_MAGIC，用于表示两个不连续内存区域之前的间隔Gap区域。⑵和⑶处定义2个宏，分别用于设置魔术字，验证魔术字。

#if (LOSCFG_MEM_MUL_REGIONS == 1)
/** 
 *  When LOSCFG_MEM_MUL_REGIONS is enabled to support multiple non-continuous memory regions, the gap between two memory regions 
 *  is marked as a used OsMemNodeHead node. The gap node could not be freed, and would also be skipped in some DFX functions. The 
 *  'ptr.prev' pointer of this node is set to OS_MEM_GAP_NODE_MAGIC to identify that this is a gap node. 
*/
⑴  #define OS_MEM_GAP_NODE_MAGIC       0xDCBAABCD
⑵  #define OS_MEM_MARK_GAP_NODE(node)  (((struct OsMemNodeHead *)(node))->ptr.prev = (struct OsMemNodeHead *)OS_MEM_GAP_NODE_MAGIC)
⑶  #define OS_MEM_IS_GAP_NODE(node)    (((struct OsMemNodeHead *)(node))->ptr.prev == (struct OsMemNodeHead *)OS_MEM_GAP_NODE_MAGIC)
#else
⑵  #define OS_MEM_MARK_GAP_NODE(node)
⑶  #define OS_MEM_IS_GAP_NODE(node)    FALSE
#endif

2、动态内存常用操作

本节我们一起分析下非连续性内存的实现算法，及接口实现代码。首先通过示意图了解下算法：

集合示意图，我们了解下非连续性内存合并为一个内存池的步骤：

• 1、把多段内存区域的第一块内存区域调用LOS_MemInit进行初始化
• 2、获取下一个内存区域的开始地址和长度，计算该内存区域和上一块内存区域的间隔大小gapSize。
• 3、把内存块间隔部分视为虚拟的已使用节点，使用上一内存块的尾节点，设置其大小为gapSize+ OS_MEM_NODE_HEAD_SIZE。
• 4、把当前内存区域划分为一个空闲内存块和一个尾节点，把空闲内存块插入到空闲链表。并设置各个节点的前后链接关系。
• 5、有更多的非连续内存块，重复上述步骤2-4。

2.1 新增接口LOS_MemRegionsAdd

新增的接口的接口说明文档见下文，注释比较详细，总结如下：

• LOSCFG_MEM_MUL_REGIONS=0：

不支持多段非连续内存，相关代码不使能。

• LOSCFG_MEM_MUL_REGIONS=1：

支持多段非连续内存，相关代码使能。用户配置多段内存区域，调用接口
LOS_MemRegionsAdd(VOID *pool, const LosMemRegion * const multipleMemRegions)进行内存池合一：

• 如果pool为空，则合并到主内存堆m_aucSysMem0。
• 如果不为空，则初始化一个新的内存池，合并多内存区域为一个从堆。

/**
 * @ingroup los_memory
 * @brief Initialize multiple non-continuous memory regions.
 *
 * @par Description:
 * <ul>
 * <li>This API is used to initialize multiple non-continuous memory regions. If the starting address of a pool is specified,
 *  the memory regions will be linked to the pool as free nodes. Otherwise, the first memory region will be initialized as a 
 *  new pool, and the rest regions will be linked as free nodes to the new pool.</li>
 * </ul>
 * 
 * @attention
 * <ul>
 * <li>If the starting address of a memory pool is specified, the start address of the non-continuous memory regions should be
 *  greater than the end address of the memory pool.</li>
 * <li>The multiple non-continuous memory regions shouldn't conflict with each other.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * @param pool           [IN] The memory pool address. If NULL is specified, the start address of first memory region will be 
 *                            initialized as the memory pool address. If not NULL, it should be a valid address of a memory pool.
 * @param memRegions     [IN] The LosMemRegion array that contains multiple non-continuous memory regions. The start address
 *                           of the memory regions are placed in ascending order.
 * @param memRegionCount [IN] The count of non-continuous memory regions, and it should be the length of the LosMemRegion array.
 * 
 * @retval #LOS_NOK    The multiple non-continuous memory regions fails to be initialized.
 * @retval #LOS_OK     The multiple non-continuous memory regions is initialized successfully.
 * @par Dependency:
 * <ul>
 * <li>los_memory.h: the header file that contains the API declaration.</li>
 * </ul>
 * @see None.
