Why do you work with memblks in the low level API instead of just addresses? There seems to be no way to map an address to a memblk, which makes it a look bit disabled. What is the exact difference between a node and a memblk? I guess the kernel internally should only know about nodes and addresses, and if such a memblk thing should be really useful for the user API then it should be only managed in the API interface. Also I would drop the _ prefix from the low level macros. Does not seem to be needed (cosmetic nit). -Andi |
