ABSTRACT:
An approach for freeing memory based upon its relocatable or non-relocatable property is provided. In one embodiment, drivers and other processes that do not provide callback methods or similar capability to route DMA requests to the correct physical address are identified and all memory allocations made by the driver or other process are made from the appropriate region.
