Invalidate cache lines associated with a data buffer
#include <sys/cache.h>
CACHE_INVAL(struct cache_ctrl *cinfo,
void *vaddr,
uint64_t paddr,
size_t len);
- cinfo
- A pointer the the structure that was initially passed to cache_init().
- vaddr
- The virtual address of the buffer; this is
a pointer to the data in the driver's virtual address space.
- paddr
- The physical address of the buffer: this is
typically in the same address space that the external
device will use to reference the data. The physical
address is obtained by calling mem_offset64(). Since this
function is fairly costly, drivers typically allocate a pool
of data buffers at initialization (e.g. by calling mmap()
with the MAP_PHYS and MAP_ANON flags), and pre determine
the physical addresses of the data.
- len
- The number of bytes in the buffer, for which
the associated cache lines should be invalidated.
libcache
Use the -l cache option to
qcc
to link against this library.
This macro is used to invalidate any cache lines associated
with a data buffer. This routine ensures that any subsequent
modifications that are made to the data by an external
device will be not be corrupted by the CPU writing back
cached data to the memory, and ensures that once the
data has been modified, the CPU will fetch the updated
data from memory, instead of retrieving stale data
from the cache.

This function was added in QNX Momentics 6.3.0 SP2. |
The following environment variables, if they exist,
affect the behavior of this function:
- CACHE_NOP
- Instructs the library that
the CACHE_FLUSH()
and CACHE_INVAL()
macros should have no effect.
- CACHE_MSYNC
- Instructs the library that the
CACHE_FLUSH()
and CACHE_INVAL()
macros should use the msync() C library call to perform
cache synchronization.
