Detailed Description

Pool for locked memory chunks.

To avoid sensitive key data from being swapped to disk, the memory in this pool is locked/pinned.

An arena manages a contiguous region of memory. The pool starts out with one arena but can grow to multiple arenas if the need arises.

Unlike a normal C heap, the administrative structures are separate from the managed memory. This has been done as the sizes and bases of objects are not in themselves sensitive information, as to conserve precious locked memory. In some operating systems the amount of memory that can be locked is small.

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef bool(* LockedPool::LockingFailed_Callback) ()

Callback when allocation succeeds but locking fails.

Definition at line 133 of file lockedpool.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

LockedPool::LockedPool	(	std::unique_ptr< LockedPageAllocator >	allocator,
		LockingFailed_Callback	lf_cb_in = 0
	)

Create a new LockedPool.

This takes ownership of the MemoryPageLocker, you can only instantiate this with LockedPool(std::move(...)).

The second argument is an optional callback when locking a newly allocated arena failed. If this callback is provided and returns false, the allocation fails (hard fail), if it returns true the allocation proceeds, but it could warn.

Member Function Documentation

void * LockedPool::alloc

(

size_t

size

)

Allocate size bytes from this arena.

Returns pointer on success, or 0 if memory is full or the application tried to allocate 0 bytes.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

void LockedPool::free

(

void *

ptr

)

Free a previously allocated chunk of memory.

Freeing the zero pointer has no effect. Raises std::runtime_error in case of error.

LockedPool::Stats LockedPool::stats

Get pool usage statistics.

Definition at line 174 of file lockedpool.h.

const size_t LockedPool::ARENA_ALIGN = 16

static

Chunk alignment.

Another compromise. Setting this too high will waste memory, setting it too low will facilitate fragmentation.

Definition at line 129 of file lockedpool.h.

const size_t LockedPool::ARENA_SIZE = 256*1024

static

Size of one arena of locked memory.

This is a compromise. Do not set this too low, as managing many arenas will increase allocation and deallocation overhead. Setting it too high allocates more locked memory from the OS than strictly necessary.
