pub unsafe fn alloc_coherent(layout: Layout) -> Option<DMAMem>
Expand description
Allocates coherent memory that meets Direct Memory Access (DMA) requirements.
This function allocates a block of memory through the global allocator. The memory pages must be contiguous, undivided, and have consistent read and write access.
layout
: The memory layout, which describes the size and alignment requirements of the requested memory.
Returns an [DMAInfo
] structure containing details about the allocated memory, such as the starting address and size. If it’s not possible to allocate memory meeting the criteria, returns None
.
§Safety
