POSSIBLE IMPLEMENTATION
-----------------------
The class SimpleFramePool in file "simple_frame_pool.H/C" describes an
incomplete vanilla implementation of a frame pool that allocates
*single* frames at a time. Because it does allocate one frame at a time,
it does not guarantee that a sequence of frames is allocated contiguously.
This can cause problems.
The class ContFramePool has the ability to allocate either single frames,
or sequences of contiguous frames. This affects how we manage the
free frames. In SimpleFramePool it is sufficient to maintain the free
frames.
In ContFramePool we need to maintain free *sequences* of frames.
This can be done in many ways, ranging from extensions to bitmaps to
free-lists of frames etc.
IMPLEMENTATION:
One simple way to manage sequences of free frames is to add a minor
extension to the bitmap idea of SimpleFramePool: Instead of maintaining
whether a frame is FREE or ALLOCATED, which requires one bit per frame,
we maintain whether the frame is FREE, or ALLOCATED, or HEAD-OF-SEQUENCE.
The meaning of FREE is the same as in SimpleFramePool.
If a frame is marked as HEAD-OF-SEQUENCE, this means that it is allocated
and that it is the first such frame in a sequence of frames. Allocated
frames that are not first in a sequence are marked as ALLOCATED.
NOTE: If we use this scheme to allocate only single frames, then all
frames are marked as either FREE or HEAD-OF-SEQUENCE.
NOTE: In SimpleFramePool we needed only one bit to store the state of
each frame. Now we need two bits. In a first implementation you can choose
to use one char per frame. This will allow you to check for a given status
without having to do bit manipulations. Once you get this to work,
revisit the implementation and change it to using two bits. You will get
an efficiency penalty if you use one char (i.e., 8 bits) per frame when
two bits do the trick.
DETAILED IMPLEMENTATION:
How can we use the HEAD-OF-SEQUENCE state to implement a contiguous
allocator? Let's look a the individual functions:
Constructor: Initialize all frames to FREE, except for any frames that you
need for the management of the frame pool, if any.
get_frames(_n_frames): Traverse the "bitmap" of states and look for a
sequence of at least _n_frames entries that are FREE. If you find one,
mark the first one as HEAD-OF-SEQUENCE and the remaining _n_frames-1 as
ALLOCATED.
release_frames(_first_frame_no): Check whether the first frame is marked as
HEAD-OF-SEQUENCE. If not, something went wrong. If it is, mark it as FREE.
Traverse the subsequent frames until you reach one that is FREE or
HEAD-OF-SEQUENCE. Until then, mark the frames that you traverse as FREE.
mark_inaccessible(_base_frame_no, _n_frames): This is no different than
get_frames, without having to search for the free sequence. You tell the
allocator exactly which frame to mark as HEAD-OF-SEQUENCE and how many
frames after that to mark as ALLOCATED.
needed_info_frames(_n_frames): This depends on how many bits you need
to store the state of each frame. If you use a char to represent the state
of a frame, then you need one info frame for each FRAME_SIZE frames.
A WORD ABOUT RELEASE_FRAMES():
When we releae a frame, we only know its frame number. At the time
of a frame's release, we don't know necessarily which pool it came
from. Therefore, the function "release_frame" is static, i.e.,
not associated with a particular frame pool.
This problem is related to the lack of a so-called "placement delete" in
C++. For a discussion of this see Stroustrup's FAQ:
