Allocates physical memory pages to be mapped and unmapped within any Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) region of a specified process and specifies the NUMA node for the physical memory.
BOOL AllocateUserPhysicalPagesNuma(
[in] HANDLE hProcess,
[in, out] PULONG_PTR NumberOfPages,
[out] PULONG_PTR PageArray,
[in] DWORD nndPreferred
);
[in] hProcess
A handle to a process.
The function allocates memory that can later be mapped within the virtual address space of this process. The handle must have the PROCESS_VM_OPERATION access right. For more information, see Process Security and Access Rights.
[in, out] NumberOfPages
The size of the physical memory to allocate, in pages.
To determine the page size of the computer, use the GetSystemInfo function. On output, this parameter receives the number of pages that are actually allocated, which might be less than the number requested.
[out] PageArray
A pointer to an array to store the page frame numbers of the allocated memory.
The size of the array that is allocated should be at least the NumberOfPages times the size of the ULONG_PTR data type.
[in] nndPreferred
The NUMA node where the physical memory should reside.
If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE.
Fewer pages than requested can be allocated. The caller must check the value of the NumberOfPages parameter on return to see how many pages are allocated. All allocated page frame numbers are sequentially placed in the memory pointed to by the PageArray parameter.
If the function fails, the return value is FALSE and no frames are allocated. To get extended error information, call the GetLastError function.
The AllocateUserPhysicalPagesNuma function is used to allocate physical memory within a NUMA node that can later be mapped within the virtual address space of the process. The SeLockMemoryPrivilege privilege must be enabled in the caller's token or the function will fail with ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD. For more information, see Privilege Constants.
Memory allocated by this function must be physically present in the system. After the memory is allocated, it is locked down and unavailable to the rest of the virtual memory management system.
Physical pages cannot be simultaneously mapped at more than one virtual address.
Physical pages can reside at any physical address. You should make no assumptions about the contiguity of the physical pages.
To compile an application that uses this function, define _WIN32_WINNT as 0x0600 or later.
