hi all, i am working on a project to do a zero copy tranfer from a netwrok buffer to a file. i need to know about buffer allocation in freeBSD. ive read the source but there are a few queries: i) what is meant by the B_MALLOC flag?? it seems if this flag is set the buffers memory is malloced and b_data point to the malloced area. but then where does b_kvabase point to ?? The buffers memory is allocated in allocbuf() but its kva is allocated in getnewbuf(). ii) what does the B_LOCKED and B_BUSY flags mean?? iii) Is setting the B_INVAL flag enough to invalidate the buffer?? thanx in advance joy To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
