[Linux][内核学习笔记]--VMA操作

 进程地址空间在内核中用VMA抽象描述，VMA离散分布在3G（32位）的用户空间中，内核中提供相应的API来管理VMA，总结如下：

• 查找VMA

struct vm_area_struct *find_vma(struct mm_struct *mm, unsigned long addr)

struct vm_area_struct *find_vma_prev(struct mm_struct *mm, unsigned long addr,struct vm_area_struct **pprev)

static inline struct vm_area_struct * find_vma_intersection(struct mm_struct * mm, unsigned long start_addr, unsigned long end_addr)

• 插入VMA

int insert_vm_struct(struct mm_struct *mm, struct vm_area_struct *vma)

• 合并VMA

struct vm_area_struct *vma_merge(struct mm_struct *mm,
			struct vm_area_struct *prev, unsigned long addr,
			unsigned long end, unsigned long vm_flags,
			struct anon_vma *anon_vma, struct file *file,
			pgoff_t pgoff, struct mempolicy *policy,
			struct vm_userfaultfd_ctx vm_userfaultfd_ctx)
