.In sys/systm.h
|

.Fn free_unr "struct unrhdr *uh" "u_int item"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The kernel unit number allocator is a generic facility, which allows to allocate
|
|
unit numbers within a specified range.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fn new_unrhdr low high mutex
|
|
Initialize a new unit number allocator entity.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa low
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa high
|
|
arguments
|
|
specify minimum and maximum number of unit numbers.
|
|
There is no cost associated with the range of unit numbers, so unless the resource
|
|
really is finite,
|
|
.Dv INT_MAX
|
|
can be used.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa mutex
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
it is used for locking when allocating and freeing units.
|
|
Otherwise, internal mutex is used.
|
|
.It Fn delete_unrhdr uh
|
|
Destroy specified unit number allocator entity.
|
|
.It Fn alloc_unr uh
|
|
Return a new unit number.
|
|
The lowest free number is always allocated.
|
|
This function does not allocate memory and never sleeps, however it may
|
|
block on a mutex.
|
|
If no free unit numbers are left,
|
|
.Li \-1
|
|
is returned.
|
|
.It Fn alloc_unrl uh
|
|
Same as
|
|
.Fn alloc_unr
|
|
except that mutex is assumed to be already locked and thus is not used.
|
|
.It Fn free_unr uh
|
|
Free a previously allocated unit number.
|
|
This function may require allocating memory, and thus it can sleep.
|
|
There is no pre-locked variant.
