rt-thread的小内存管理是rt-thread操作系统默认堆内存管理算法,是一种简单的内存分配算法,当有可用的内存的时候,会从中分割一块来作为分配的内存,而剩下的则返回到动态内存堆中.此算法采用了一个静态链表来实现的,其源码文件在根目录下的src目录下,包含mem.c和mem.h两个文件.
1 数据结构
小内存管理算法将内存看成是一个个内存块:
- struct heap_mem
- {
- /* magic and used flag */
- rt_uint16_t magic; //如果此内存块被分配了,则置0x1ea0,以此标志此块内存是正常分配出来的,而不是非法指针
- rt_uint16_t used; //0:未分配;1:已分配
- rt_size_t next, prev; //前一内存块,后一内存块
- };
2 初始化动态内存堆
- /**
- * @ingroup SystemInit
- *
- * This function will init system heap
- *
- * @param begin_addr the beginning address of system page
- * @param end_addr the end address of system page
- */
- void rt_system_heap_init(void *begin_addr, void *end_addr) //函数传入用为初始化的起始地址和末尾地址,但这两个地址有可能并非对齐的
- {
- struct heap_mem *mem;
- rt_uint32_t begin_align = RT_ALIGN((rt_uint32_t)begin_addr, RT_ALIGN_SIZE); //得到对齐后的堆内存起始地址
- rt_uint32_t end_align = RT_ALIGN_DOWN((rt_uint32_t)end_addr, RT_ALIGN_SIZE); //得到对齐后的堆内存末尾地址
- RT_DEBUG_NOT_IN_INTERRUPT; //确保此函数不是运行在中断例程内
- /* alignment addr */
- if ((end_align > (2 * SIZEOF_STRUCT_MEM)) && //确保可用动态堆内存大小至少大于可等于2个内存块控制结构大小
- ((end_align - 2 * SIZEOF_STRUCT_MEM) >= begin_align))
- {
- /* calculate the aligned memory size */
- mem_size_aligned = end_align - begin_align - 2 * SIZEOF_STRUCT_MEM; //计算出可用的真实可用作动态分配的内存大小
- }
- else
- {
- rt_kprintf("mem init, error begin address 0x%x, and end address 0x%x\n",
- (rt_uint32_t)begin_addr, (rt_uint32_t)end_addr);
- return;
- }
- /* point to begin address of heap */
- heap_ptr = (rt_uint8_t *)begin_align; //heap_ptr为静态全局变量,指用堆内存起始地址
- RT_DEBUG_LOG(RT_DEBUG_MEM, ("mem init, heap begin address 0x%x, size %d\n",
- (rt_uint32_t)heap_ptr, mem_size_aligned));
- /* initialize the start of the heap */
- mem = (struct heap_mem *)heap_ptr; //将动态堆内存首地址初始化为一个内存块,可用大小为全部可用大小
- mem->magic = HEAP_MAGIC; //初始化为0x1ea0
- mem->next = mem_size_aligned + SIZEOF_STRUCT_MEM; //下一个指向动态堆内存最靠末尾的内存控制结构
- mem->prev = 0; //无前一个内存块
- mem->used = 0; //初始化为未使用
- /* initialize the end of the heap */
- heap_end = (struct heap_mem *)&heap_ptr[mem->next]; //指向末尾内存块
- heap_end->magic = HEAP_MAGIC;
- heap_end->used = 1; //末尾内存块初始化为已使用
- heap_end->next = mem_size_aligned + SIZEOF_STRUCT_MEM; //下一个内存块指向自己
- heap_end->prev = mem_size_aligned + SIZEOF_STRUCT_MEM; //前一个内存块也指向自己
- rt_sem_init(&heap_sem, "heap", 1, RT_IPC_FLAG_FIFO); //初始化堆内存信号量为1
- /* initialize the lowest-free pointer to the start of the heap */
- lfree = (struct heap_mem *)heap_ptr; //lfree为空闲内存,为静态全局变量,初始化时指向动态堆内存首地址
- }
由上述代码可知,在初始化时,小内存管理算法通过传进来的起始地址和末尾地址将动态堆内存初始化为两个内存块,第一个内存块指向动态堆内存首地址,可用空间为整个可分配的内存(不包含两个内存控制块本身所占大小),此内存块下一指针指向末尾内存控制块.第二个内存块指向最末尾的一个内存控制块,可用空间大小为0,此内存块前一指针和后一指针都指向本身.

- if (lfree == mem)//如果空闲内存指向前一内存,则将空闲内存指向它
- {
- lfree = pmem;
- }
- pmem->next = mem->next;//合并

- }
- }
至此,小内存算法的源码分析完了,从上述可知,小内存管理算法从整体上来讲,是将一片内存初始化为静态链表来实现的,初始化时只有两个内存块,第一块除了包含内存块控制块外,还包含待分配的空间,这个空间就是mem_size_aligned,它是指此算法可用来作分配的动态堆内存总大小,任何待分配的内存都不能比它还大,否则超时极限;第二块只包含内存控制块本身,不包含待分配的空间,它作为链表尾,且标志恒使用.此算法中还有一空闲指针,指向空闲的内存,初始化时指向第一内块.接下来就是分配内存了,分配内存时首先从空闲内存所指向的节点开始扫描,一旦扫描到大小满足的节点,则返回此节点,另当此节点所指向的空间足够大,大到还有足够空间分配另一空间时,则分割此节点指向的内存为两块,前一内存返回,后一内存放入空闲链表中; 当释放内存时,算法将检查待释放内存的前一内存块和后一内存块,如果为空闲则合并.
